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 lack of shots for a player with Towns’ resume is glaring, but the star center said he isn’t concerned with shot distribution or touches.

The Knicks were lucky to survive that performance from Karl-Anthony Towns. Performance might be putting it lightly. No-show is probably better. Towns struggled through a nightmarish Game 6 against the Pistons, which the Knicks won 116-113 to clinch the series.
