Mikal Bridges: I will never say no to playing with Team USA

By HoopsHype | September 10, 2023

What’s the buzz on Twitter? Chuck Cooperstein @coopmavsI’m waking up to see Dillon Brooks scored THIRTY-NINE points. That the USA forced OT when Mikal Bridges did a Luka vs the Knicks one better (also :04 vs :01) by rebounding his own missed FT dribbling to the RIGHT corner and making a 3ptr to for OT. And that Canada won 127-116. – 7:23 AM Duane Rankin @DuaneRankinCanada 127 Team USA 118 F/OTUSA misses out on medal while Canada won its 1st medal ever in #FIBAWC in taking bronze.CAN: Dillon Brooks 39 points.Shai Gilgeous-Alexander 31 points, 12 assists.R.J.
