New York Knicks shooting guard Josh Hart had an interesting answer to a question about Atlanta Hawks star Trae Young.

Brunson scored 38 points and took control in overtime, while Hart recorded a triple-double and Bridges scored 23 points in the city where they became college stars.

The Knicks landed a talented team player and rebuilding Nets got five first-round picks and an unprotected pick swap.

For a fleeting moment considered the face of the Nets, Mikal Bridges is hoping for “good energy” as he returns to the Barclays Center on Tuesday for the first time since being traded across the Manhattan Bridge.

This past offseason, the Brooklyn Nets decided to fully embrace the rebuilding process as they traded away Mikal Bridges, arguably their best player during the 2023-24 season, to the New York Knicks in exchange for a haul of future first-round picks.

Mikal Bridges returns to Brooklyn on Tuesday for the first time since being traded. He played two seasons with the Nets.

Karl-Anthony Towns had 25 points and 16 rebounds, Jalen Brunson scored eight points down the stretch and finished with 17 as the New York Knicks beat the Brooklyn Nets 99-95.

Jalen Brunson was held to 17 points but delivered the go-ahead basket with 2:18 remaining for the visiting New York Knicks, struggled on offense for most of the fourth quarter before making enough plays down the stretch in a 99-95 victory over the Brooklyn Nets on Tuesday.

The Knicks were sluggish, the offense inexplicably disappeared for most of the fourth quarter and they were one Brooklyn shot away from their worst loss of the season.

With the Knicks facing one of the strongest remaining schedules in the NBA — and coming off of a stretch of six losses in the span of nine games —  all wins count evenly.

Mikal Bridges’ transition to the New York Knicks has certainly come with its challenges, but he’s starting to find his rhythm after a period of adjustment.
