The New York Knicks secured a close 110-105 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers, denying a major comeback led by Tyrese Maxey's 30 points. The win showcased the team's collective defensive strategy, particularly against Maxey and highlighted the contributions of Mikal Bridges, who stepped up in the absence of Karl-Anthony Towns (KAT). Coach Tom Thibodeau praised the importance of teamwork and defensive efforts in securing the win, emphasizing individual efforts that enabled the team to manage challenging assignments effectively.
It's hard to guard those guys individually, so what you're trying to do is make him work for his points.
It was huge. You're not replacing a guy like KAT individually. You have to do it collectively, and I thought the way Mikal played, his aggressiveness to start the game, was huge.
Mikal was terrific, the whole game. Not only his scoring but he's on Maxey the whole time.
OG guards the tough matchup every night. Runs the floor...offense takes time to get rhythm back.
