There were some wonderfully high highs thanks to them, thanks to Karl-Anthony Towns and Mikal Bridges. Both had their share of growing pains, too; neither has had a season without incident. Together they will have an opportunity, beginning with Game 1 against Detroit, to have the final word on the most-discussed Knicks season in a quarter century.

With the Knicks keeping four starters out of the opening tipoff, Bridges extended his streak to 556 games in curious fashion.

With the NBA playing its final regular-season games on Sunday, Mikal Bridges kept his Iron Man streak alive… technically. The New York Knicks forward played six seconds against the Brooklyn Nets, issuing a foul after the opening tip and exiting the game.
