Towns and Hart have a completely consistent view of Bridges, "He is the hero of the city"

According to the report of Aditia Krishnamurti, a reporter from the US sports media NBA analysis network. Jaylen Brunson and Towns both highly praised one of their Knicks teammates for standing up against the Celtics.

Surprisingly, the New York Knicks found themselves leading the Boston Celtics 2-0. The Knicks managed to steal two games from the Celtics' home court. Much of the applause from their two wins is attributed to Bridges. The polarized forward has been criticized for his poor performance in the regular season, and his high-priced label for the Nets has also been criticized. However, Bridges stepped up at a critical moment for the Knicks and scored two winning steals in the last few seconds, winning two major wins for the Knicks.

Magic Johnson gave great praise to Bubridges and Anunobi's role in the win in Game 1. Now Towns and Brunson have also praised the Villanova forward.

Downs on Mikal Bridges' performance

Downs talked about Bridges' importance to the Knicks after the game, noting that "Like Brunson, Bridges shines in the spotlight. He is the top defender in the NBA, and his steals at the end of both games show how good he handles the opponent's offensive players. That's what he did. We won NBA Player of the Year. And we might have the NBA One of the most critical defenders in the middle. People talk about everything about Mikal, and tonight, and it was when the lights were the brightest that he could show his worth. Of course, he made a key contribution to the team’s winnings, he deserves a moment like this, he’s the hero of the city.”

Josh Hart talked about what Bridges brought to the Knicks after the game, Hart gave Bridges 10 points because his own defensive performance was not good. Hart admits that Bridges can change the course of the game with his defense. "You can't say too much about his tenacity, courage and his mentality. He ended up with about 14 points, and he didn't score a single point when he entered the fourth quarter. And in the fourth quarter, he made a huge contribution to us offensively, keeping us in the game. Defensively, he has the ability to change the course of the whole game. You give him a thumbs up because even if he doesn't shoot, he makes a huge contribution to the victory. People often talk about him, but now he's making a huge contribution to the city just like Brunson."

Bridges proved to be the key to the Knicks in the playoffs. Given what Bridges did for them, it now seems that the six first-round picks that the Knicks gave up were worth it to get him. The Knicks will return to New York with a 2-0 advantage, where they will want to end the series and eliminate the defending champion. Do you think that after returning to the Knicks' home court, the team can complete an epic sweep against the defending champion?
