Mikal Bridges made a thrilling buzzer-beating three-pointer to lift the New York Knicks to a 114-113 overtime win against the Portland Trail Blazers. This shot was particularly impressive, considering it was only his second three-pointer made all night.

Bridges’ performance was remarkable, with 33 points, four rebounds, and four assists. His clutch shot capped off an intense game with 42 lead changes, sending the Knicks to their second straight win.

The Horry Scale, which measures the impressiveness of buzzer-beating shots, would likely give this shot a high rating. The scale considers factors like difficulty, game situation, importance, and celebration. Given the shot’s difficulty, the game’s intense back-and-forth, and the dramatic celebration, it’s no surprise that broadcaster Mike Breen gave it a rare double “Bang!”.
