How important is Miles Bridges to the Hornets? And how scary could a healthy Charlotte team be in the NBA Play-In Tournament? Both questions may have been answered on Saturday afternoon in New York, as Charlotte battled back from an 18-point deficit to force overtime against the Knicks before eventually falling, 118-109.
