The Knicks' Game 4 victory over the Hawks, 114-98, has raised concerns about starting Mikal Bridges, who scored eight points in 19 minutes in the game. Despite acknowledging that the team was considering changing the starting unit, Mike Brown kept Bridges in the starting lineup. However, he also ended the game with him benched down the stretch, with Miles McBride in his place. This move follows a trend of benching players for the second half of the game, mirroring the previous game in which Bridges was benched for the majority of the second-half. Jose Alvarado, who was previously out of the playoff rotation, has been making an impact in the playoffs, and has made an impact by scoring six points in 14 minutes.
