Midway through Mikal Bridges' first season as a Knick, TSN's Steph Noh breaks down how it looks for New York and Brooklyn.

Mikal Bridges led the Knicks with 28 points and had a wild plus-43 in Monday night’s 143-106 win over Memphis at Madison Square Garden. But perhaps his most important contribution came on defense, as he helped shut down Grizzlies star Ja Morant, who scored just 10 points on 5-for-13 shooting in the rout.

With their lengthy homestand winding down, the New York Knicks treated themselves to Memphis barbecue. The Knicks put up yet another dominant effort in front of an appreciative Madison Square Garden crowd,

Morant scored just 10 points on 5-13 shooting while being completely taken out of the game by New York's top wing defender. It was something that the coaching staff loved to see.

Facing the NBA’s hottest team, with a top 5 record, the Knicks not only toppled the Grizzlies on Monday night at MSG, they battered them into early submission.

You could say Young ran out of luck Monday in the Knicks' 119-110 victory over the Hawks at Madison Square Garden. But it’s more accurate to say that he ran into Mikal Bridges and a defense that was determined to keep the Atlanta guard from playing the villain role he so frequently has played at the Garden.

When it comes to giving a current New York Knick a warm welcome back, it's up to you, New York, New York ... Brooklyn, to be precise. There's a little somethin

Bridges — a former 2022 All-Defensive First Team honoree — has upped the ante on the perimeter. He can now continue such play when the Knicks take on Jamal Murray and the Denver Nuggets in their next outing.

Mikal Bridges had 28 points, six assists and five rebounds, and the New York Knicks snapped the Memphis Grizzlies’ six-game winning streak with a resounding 143-106 win on Monday night.

While the Knicks have yielded positive results from wingers Mikal Bridges and OG Anunoby this season, there's reason to believe both players would benefit from an adjusted team strategy.
