Thunder coach: Mikal Bridges is going to be a “really, really good player”
After the Oklahoma City Thunder beat the Suns for the third time in the last two weeks, all without Russell Westbrook, head coach Billy Donovan threw a much-needed olive branch to Suns fans.
“They’re playing really, really physical on defense,” Donovan said. “They’re active, they’re long. Bridges is going to be a really, really good player. He really works defensively.”
On Saturday night, Mikal Bridges had four steals and two blocks — along with six fouls — as the primary defender of Paul George, who’s been playing like the best small forward in the game early this season.
