New York Knicks star forward Mikal Bridges saw his stretch of defensive excellence against some of the premier point guards in the NBA get interrupted on Wednesday night.
Knicks & Mikal Bridges bested by Nuggets’ Jamal Murray
Bridges and the Knicks were able to defeat the Denver Nuggets by a score of 122-112. However, the Nuggets kept things competitive on the back of star floor general Jamal Murray, who finished with a team-high 33 points on 13-25 shooting from the field. The Knicks impressively forced reigning NBA MVP Nikola Jokic to only 17 points on 6-15 shooting from the field, and did a great job on the rest of Denver’s role players, but Murray was their brightest spot.
