NEW YORK — Mikal Bridges drew the toughest matchup on the floor Saturday night and passed the test. Assigned to shadow Brandon Ingram, the New York Knicks swingman limited the Toronto Raptors star throughout a game the Knicks ultimately won.
Bridges described the responsibility as “really hard,” but his work paid off. Ingram, whom Toronto relies on for offense, struggled to find rhythm under constant pressure, allowing New York to control key stretches.
The victory marked another step forward for a Knicks team seeking consistency early in the season. While the offense produced enough points to secure the decision, Bridges’ lockdown defense on Ingram proved decisive.
No additional details about scoring totals or final margin were immediately available.
