Mikal Bridges

Not every assist starts upright. A tipped Celtics pass bounces loose on February 8, 2026, and just as Payton Pritchard thinks he's swept it clear, Mikal Bridges dives to the floor and corrals it. From the ground, he threads a laser bounce pass past Pritchard and Jaylen Brown to a cutting Karl-Anthony Towns for an easy two. Bridges finished with 14 points, four rebounds and the Knicks rolled 111-89 in Boston.
