Bridges kept contact more throughout the six Pistons games than he did at any point during the regular season. He guarded Cunningham on 85 half-court possessions throughout the series, according to Second Spectrum. The point guard shot just 6 of 19 on those plays . The 28-year-old wing, who the Knicks traded for in July, “for sure” agrees that he’s played his best defense of the season over the past six games. The uptick comes at a time when the team needs it.
