INDIANAPOLIS — When Mikal Bridges’ midrange shot isn’t falling, it’s maddening to look at.
Perplexing.
He has the ball with sufficient room and time to drive to the ring, with the size, it seems, to both convert a layup or draw a foul. You scream on the court docket, or the tv, “Drive to the hoop!”
However that’s not Bridges’ recreation. He as a substitute turns away from the basket and fades away or passes out to the perimeter. Oftentimes, he converts that midrange jumper. However typically, like Tuesday’s consequential loss to the Pacers, he misses.
