Continues Resurgence with 17 Points in Game 1 Victory

Mikal Bridges contributed 17 points to the New York Knicks' 137-98 rout of the Philadelphia 76ers in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals. After being highlighted in pre-game betting predictions to hit multiple three-pointers, Bridges' performance suggested his recent resurgence is more than a one-game anomaly. His efficient scoring was part of a historic Knicks effort that saw the team shoot 63% from the field and lead by as many as 40 points during the series opener.
