In two straight games, the New York Knicks have capped off 20+ point comebacks against the Boston Celtics with a defensive stop by Mikal Bridges to take a 2-0 series lead with them to Madison Square Garden. Bridges added 14 points, seven rebounds and five assists to go with three steals, and Karl-Anthony Towns said after the game he’s glad people are getting to see Bridges shine in the spotlight.
“That’s what he does. We got the Clutch Player of the Year in the NBA, and possibly the most clutch defender in the NBA as well,” he said.
“It’s only right that with all the talk people have done about Mikal is when the lights were the brightest that he gets to show his worth.”
Which brings us to today’s quiz. With the other weapons New York has, Bridges can continue to contribute to winning with his defense. With that being said, how many of the players to be named first-team All-Defense since the 2013-14 season can you name?
Good luck!
