The Charlotte Hornets are one of the NBA's hottest teams this season, and that has a lot to do with fourth-year player Miles Bridges. The 6'6-inch forward played for the Hornets early in the season and his outstanding performances have captured the attention of many people inside and outside the NBA.
On Thursday, Bridges led the Hornets to the Golden State Warriors, and the Charlotte rising star caught fire again in the first half. The Suns' possession star Chris Paul saw Bridges' explosiveness, and the 11-time All-Star player couldn't help but react. Paul was soon to tweet his true thoughts about Miles Bridges:
Chris Paul: Miles Bridges is a problem!
At halftime today, Bridges scored 21 points on 8-of-14 shooting, the highest scorer in the game. The former Michigan State university's illustrious player also shot 4-of-6 from three-point range, and here are his best three-pointers in the first two quarters:
The Hornets were the guest team at The Chase Center on Thursday, but Bridges stole the limelight. The Charlotte forward even beat Warriors superstar Stephen Curry, who scored just five points on 2-of-7 shooting in the first half.
In his last eight games, Bridges has averaged 23.1 points, 7.9 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 1.8 steals and 2.6 three-pointers per game.
