Mikal Bridges brought the escape to Mintain his streak.
The Knicks Guard began the final of the season and registered only six seconds before dirtying a Net player on purpose and throwing himself into the bank for the rest of Sunday’s victory 113-105 over tank networks.
Technically, it represented the 556th consecutive Bridges game played, almost twice the number of Harrison Barnes No. 2, whose streak reached 304 on Sunday.
Tom Thibodeau said Bridges “won the right” to visit after consulting the assistance box.
“A tribute to him, he has worked hard to put himself in that position,” said the Knicks coach. “It should be praised by (the streak).”
It was at least the third time that Bridges climbed quickly to keep the streak intact. Coincidentally, the three were inside the Barclays center.
Last season, as a member member, he plays only 12 minutes, while other headlines rested in a December game against the Bucks. In the Brooklyn season two years ago, Bridges was retired after only four seconds of defeat against the Sixers.
Then, on Sunday, he was the only regular headline available in a game that made no sense to both sides. The Knicks (51-31), which obtained their most victories since 2013, operated as if it were a pre-season issue. PJ Tucker, McBride thousands, Cam Payne and Priceus Achiuwa began, with the rookies Pacome Dadite, Tyler Kolek and Kevin McCullar Jr. obtaining minutes of rotation.
Landry Shamet, who replaced Bridges after six seconds, led all scorers with 29 points.
Jalen Brunson, Karl-Anthony Towns, Og Anunoby, Josh Hart and Mitchell Robinson rested. The rest strategy should have been expected, most NBA teams take the route thesis days, but only questioned because Thibodeau animatedly expressed his desire to establish a rhythm that is directed to the playoffs.
“We can fix it quickly,” said the coach after New York exploded a 23 -point advantage to the CAVs on Friday.
But then the Knicks chose rest on rhythm.
On the contrary, the Pistons, who face the Knicks in the first round next weekend, played most of their headlines, although limited minutes, at the end of the season on Sunday.
Thibodeau said there were Health Conerns and, with multiple practices scheduled before the playoffs begin, there is theoretically theoretically addressing the problems of a disappointing end for the regular season.
Then, the priorities on Sunday maintained the health streak and bridges.
“It is a compilation of things that enter this game,” said the coach. “Some boys are a bit beaten, so he does not want to risk being beaten in an area that delays them more. That is likely that the greatest things. Then, others are, they have done a good job to put a theme. Satellves. Satellves. Satellves. Sate. The medical staff, their contribution is also enormous in this, which is the best for our team and that is what we are going to put in the lining.”
