Three Knicks are to blame for Game 2 collapse
Key Points:
- Mikal Bridges, typically a defense-focused player with limited offensive attempts, took an open but ill-advised shot near the sideline in a crucial moment.
- Bridges missed the potential game-winning shot in a 107-106 loss, reminiscent of a previous missed opportunity in last year's playoffs against Detroit.
- The miss reopened painful memories for the Knicks, who were stunned by the outcome in front of their home crowd at Madison Square Garden.
- The situation was avoidable, as the game should not have come down to Bridges' buzzer-beater attempt.
