Mike Brown delivers blunt reality of benching Mikal Bridges during Knicks’ comeback vs. Bulls

New York Knicks coach Mike Brown went with a unique unit to finish off the Chicago Bulls, 133-127 , in a fierce battle at United Center on Wednesday. Brown went with Jalen Brunson, Jordan Clarkson, Landry Shamet, OG Anunoby, and Karl-Anthony Towns in the fourth quarter. It was a stroke of genius, as the Knicks outscored the Bulls, 43-31 , to complete the come-from-behind victory and improve to 2-3. New York clawed back from a 19-point deficit. With a crowded rotation, Mikal Bridges became the odd man out. He only played 13 minutes and was benched in the final period.
