Mikal Bridges played 41 minutes Wednesday night in Portland, and he wouldn't want to give one of those seconds back because he did this during the final play of the game. Still, 41 minutes is a lot, and it's not just this game.

On Wednesday, Mikal Bridges of the New York Knicks made headlines and raised eyebrows when he revealed to Stefan Bondy of the New York Post that he'd asked head coach Tom Thibodeau to lighten the minutes load on the team's starters.
