The New York Knicks did not get Mikal Bridges' best game of the season on Monday night. Although they beat the New Orleans Pelicans 130-125, Bridges finished with just six points on the night. While his 3-of-5 shooting performance was efficient, it was not necessarily effective from a scoring perspective.
What fans may not have noticed throughout the game, however, was that his biggest improvement from the 2025-26 season thus far – his playmaking and passing – was on display the whole time. Bridges finished with ten assists and just one turnover, playing a key part in the win.
