In Game 6, the clincher of the series, Bridges was excellent, though. He made 11-of-16 shots for 25 points in that one. After that game, teammate Karl-Anthony Towns was asked about the pressure Bridges has been under, especially with the five-pick price tag looming over him.

The Knicks were lucky to survive that performance from Karl-Anthony Towns. Performance might be putting it lightly. Towns struggled through a nightmarish Game 6 against the Pistons, which the Knicks won 116-113 to clinch the series.

The Knicks will face the No. 2 seed Boston Celtics, the defending NBA champions, a team with length and shooters all over the floor. Game 1 is Monday.
