Mikal Bridges played 41 minutes Wednesday night in Portland, and he wouldn't want to give one of those seconds back because he did this during the final play of the game. Still, 41 minutes is a lot, and it's not just this game.

Things started awkwardly between the Knicks starter and coach, and then ended with Bridges hitting the game-winner in overtime vs. Portland.

Per SNY's Ian Begley, New York Knicks reps Mikal Bridges and Tom Thibodeau took some time to talk time prior to Wednesday's game in Portland. Bridges made headlines when a report from Stefan Bondy of the New York Post declared that he had spoken with the head coach Thibodeau about cutting down on the Knicks starters' workload.
