So many of the New York Knicks’ offensive changes under Mike Brown were on full display during their Wednesday night victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers. Nobody on the roster drove the team’s evolution home harder than Mikal Bridges.
Evidence is scattered throughout the 29-year-old’s performance, but the most notable proof comes in the form of his shot profile. Last year, around 18.2 percent of his attempts were two-pointers outside the paint. Just one of his 11 shots against the Cavs came from that area.
This aligns perfectly with the Knicks’ overall shot profile, which is de-emphasizing those same looks with more ball and body movement.
