But after Bridges, Anunoby and the Knicks' defense were torched in Game 5 by the Celtics without Jayson Tatum, New York might need more magic from its two-way wings. "It takes time," Brunson said earlier this week of Bridges' season. Mikal Bridges had a massive block in the final seconds of Game 2 of the New York Knicks' second-round series against the Boston Celtics. And then when the ball gets shot, to go and rebound," Thibodeau said of Bridges and Anunoby. On nights such as Game 5, when the Knicks' defense allowed 22 3-pointers and Anunoby and Bridges themselves combined for 5-for-26 shooting -- it puts an unsustainable burden on Brunson and Towns to score.
