  • Mikal Bridges Leads Knicks to Fourth Straight Win

    Mikal Bridges Leads Knicks to Fourth Straight Win

    Mikal Bridges scored a team-high 30 points to lead the New York Knicks to a 119-92 win over the Toronto Raptors.

    The victory extended New York’s win streak to four and kept them in the thick of the Atlantic Division race as the season approaches its midpoint.

    With Bridges, Jalen Brunson, and Karl-Anthony Towns building chemistry, Knicks fans are increasingly talking about a real Eastern Conference run.

    Echotitbits take: The ‘Nova Knicks’ concept is translating on the floor. Bridges gives New York the two-way edge that stabilizes everything around Brunson. If health holds, they’re not just a playoff team—they can threaten the East’s top tier.
