Two players that got away came back to haunt the New York Knicks.
Mikal Bridges, whom the Knicks passed on the 2018 NBA Draft, and Chris Paul, a trade target last summer, delivered the big blows that ended the Knicks’ winning streak at nine.
Bridges and Paul combined for the Suns’ last 12 points in a 118-110 win Monday night at The Garden as they wrapped up their road trip with at 3-2.
Bridges scored on three and a baseline dunk that gave the Suns a comfortable 111-102 lead with 2:53 left. But the Knicks refused to fold up easily and cut the deficit to four, 111-107, on an RJ Barrett drive.
