Knicks Bulletin: 'We knew it was going to be a tough, grind-it-out game'

The New York Knicks managed to escape a challenging game against the Portland Trail Blazers, winning 114-113 in overtime, highlighted by a crucial three-pointer from Mikal Bridges. The match came on the heels of Bridges openly criticizing Coach Tom Thibodeau's strategies, leading to a denial from Thibodeau about any prior discussions. In his remarks post-game, Thibodeau praised the Trail Blazers’ players for their fierce competitiveness and emphasized the need for better ball handling as the season progresses.
