The seventh win in the last ten games of the Knicks bears an important signature, that of Mikal Bridges, who ended up at the center of a thousand controversies for a very low start to the season and even confined to the bench in the last quarter of the challenge against Charlotte. The former Nets responds with a performance of 31 points with 12/19 shooting (and 7/12 from three-point range) to silence the critics and drag New York to victory, thanks to a first half in which the defense of the blue-orange holds the Pelicans (always decimated by injuries) to a paltry 28 points and 26% shooting (with 2/20 from three-point range). Towns did well in a double double with 19 rebounds, for New Orleans it is the eighth defeat in a row (and the 15th in the last 17).
