Mikal Bridges after the Nets snap their 6-game skid

Mel what was the biggest difference in that fourth quarter that allowed you guys to close out this game and find a way um I think defense again stops um you know everybody stepped up really well that subed in and then you know Dennis just let us at the end and we’re

Scoring and dishing so uh you know just very good team win how do you what can you take from this game in a game where sometimes when shots were falling but you guys were able to still stay together and be resilient yeah I mean it’s going to be times like that um but

Yeah it’s just you know just play whole 48 you know it’s going to be tough and you know not giving up and not quitting and um that’s we did just you know learning how to win even when you play B Trenton was obviously huge for you guys

So was Jaylen and Noah um with trendon just coming in how big was it for him just to be able to step in with the cams out and June out as well it’s great I mean he’s always ready you know we got a lot of Def on his team and um you know

He’s always ready waiting for his moment and um you know did a great job he’s going to continue to keep being really good and going need him again when we go to Washington and then with Clowney and Wilson sharing minutes and crunch time just how big is it for their development

That they were not just on the court but contributing in a tight game like this yeah great I mean just they learn on a fly um I think they’re you know really good like rookies that just kind of learn and get everything like a sponge

And um and go out there and play hard so I did a great job tonight when you sorry M when you uh went with Team USA to the Philippines last summer for the FBA World Cup what was the best part about being in the Philippines

Um I think probably the love we got from the fans and everybody I think everybody was really cool you could tell they really love basketball um but it was outside a hotel and you know the games you can see how loud they were so I probably say the fans have you thought

About joining Team USA again this summer just to kind of redeem yourself yeah I mean you know that’s that’s in the future right now not you see whatever that happens but just pretty much locked in right now here what was your reaction Noah Clowny hitting the three Kevin Oli

Spoke about how that’s been in his game and and then Noah also said that it’s only a matter of time he was going to knock down some more I mean yeah I I was kind of confused why he was playing off him um I tell him not he not no five man

But I guess you got to play five at times but he’s really a wing to me so um but yeah I mean I was kind of actually surprised he was leave him open like a couple times I was like all right we’re going to you know I know he can shoot so

He’s going to keep passing to him what type of Versatility is that bring to you guys with the guy that can play the four or the five yeah I mean just brings a lot of dep and put him anywhere and uh I say just got a lot of options you know a

Lot of people on the bench you know ready to play and uh you know just you could put people anywhere you took that awkward fall and we all got kind of a little nervous there but you were able to once again just will your away still

And play that game just what were you feeling in that moment and just were you ever concerned uh yeah it just rolled the the hell out my ankle a little bit um but I think God blessed me with some I know I’m skinny but blessed me with

Some strong ankle bones and you know even though it was hurting I just you know just kind of go through a mindset and just just go up and down you know I was you know my high school coach always taught me you know where ankle you know

He just tell him just go tie your shoe tighter so so that’s what I kind of did and uh just kept rolling K said you didn’t want him to take come out did you tell him that just to make sure you stayed in in the fourth no I just I know

I I was playing bad pretty much the whole game um I just wanted to win and I felt you know good enough where I’m like you know I think I could you know help team win right now and I just I just didn’t want to lose this game you know

No matter what what the outcome was but I was amped and just told him I played the whole fourth and he was like it’s pretty much was that was going to happen anyway so appreciate him sorry what’s your secret for being so durable like you know you don’t get

Injured a lot fingers crossed um I got no I I don’t know I got no secret man I think I just take care of my body you know like I said God my parents you know they my bones is pretty blessed and they heal pretty quick but um I don’t know

Man just everything I do with recovery and you know the lifts and everything just just help prevent it you know and um just you know saying staying blessed as well n with the March mind that’s going on we know you’re a huge supporter of women basketball and this year we’ve

Been seeing some outstanding Talent is there a team or a player that you’re looking in the woman’s side of the uh March minust this year and can you have a word about that yeah um who did I just watch I just watched LSU um man I just love I just love how

Fier they are you know and it’s you can see on the internet where you know they starting to like dislike some players like I think Angel’s one of them when they starting to dislike her but it’s like it’s good that means people really watching understanding and you know now

You see the emotions they play with and they get all fired up they get text doing all these gestures same things that we all do and it’s it’s great to see it like that and that means everybody you know when you start getting hate from people that means

People are locked in so you know it’s good to have that love
