In his first preseason as the member of the New York Knicks, Mikal Bridges shot just 2 for 19 (10.5%) from beyond the arc in 106 minutes. For a 37.5% career 3-point shooter, this was surprising. Maybe it was just a cold streak in a bunch of meaningless exhibition games.

Mikal Bridges thinks he may already be over the shooting struggles that have followed from changing his mechanics.

Bridges had a debut to forget against the Boston Celtics on Tuesday, as did the rest of the Knicks in a 132-109 loss to the defending champions. After one of the most eventful offseasons in recent NBA history, New York was overwhelmed at the 3-point line to a historic degree.
