Miles Bridges · Spending the majority of the night battling amongst the trees and doing dirty work on the glass, Miles Bridges sent the NBA a well-timed reminder of what happens when you afford him a clean look. Unaffected by both an elite defense and the pressures of a tie game with under 10 seconds remaining, Bridges calmly assesses his options from a triple-threat position before proving to be the triple threat himself, draining the game-winning 3-pointer. Making his first start in over a year-and-a-half, the gifted Charlotte Hornets forward perfectly mixed physicality with pinpoint accuracy, stuffing the box score ledger with 14 points, a season-high 15 rebounds, five assists, two 3-pointers, and the game-sealing steal shortly thereafter.
