Miles Bridges had a career night against the New York Knicks as he scored 38 points to lead the Hornets over the Knickerbockers 97-87 to get the team back on the winning track. The Hornets have won 4 out of their last 5 games and in the one game they lost I don’t think they should have, against the Orlando Magic, but yesterday they put up a great defensive effort holding the Knicks to only 87 points.
Miles Bridges had 21 points in the first quarter and they never let their foot off the gas after that. Julius Randle and RJ Barrett had 18 points a piece leading the Knicks. The Hornets take on the Celtics tomorrow night on ESPN for a nationally televised game.
