Usually when you see Miles Bridges make a highlight reel play, it’s a high-flying dunk or alley-oop dunk or a poster dunk. This time he decided to show off the range as he beat the buzzer in the 3rd quarter to extend the lead to 12.
Bridges stole the ball at the Celtics three point line with 3.1 seconds left, and started to dribble the ball up court. He crossed half court with about two seconds left and started to pull up from 29-feet away. Jayson Tatum came and contested the shot, but Bridges was able to get his shot above the extended arm and was able to beat the buzzer to extend the lead to 100-88.
The Hornets went on to win 125-104 as Bridges was able to record 20 points, six rebounds and three assists in 34 minutes of action. The Hornets improved to 30-30 and are currently the 8th seed in the Eastern Conference. Bridges and the Hornets next game is tomorrow against Bryn Forbes and the Milwaukee Bucks at 7 p.m. EST.
