On Martin Luther King Jr. Day, a certain Charlotte Hornet put on an absolute show at Madison Square Garden.
In Charlotte’s 97-87 victory over the New York Knicks, Miles Bridges scored a career-high 38 points on 14-of-20 shooting from the field and 5-of-9 from 3-point range, along with 12 rebounds and 5 assists.
Bridges came out firing from the opening tip, dropping 22 points in the first quarter on 7-of-8 shooting.
With LaMelo Ball out with an illness, Bridges took control of the game from the jump and led the way for the Hornets for the entire game.
