Is Miles Bridges psychic? We, uh, might need an investigation of sorts.

At halftime of the NBA Rising Stars Challenge, Bridges and Team USA were losing by ten points. This is the same team which *checks scoreboard* won by 20 on Friday night. So what changed?

Bridges tweeted. That's our only answer.

Per NBA rules, players typically aren't allowed to tweet or use other social media at halftime. The Rising Stars Challenge seems to be an exception to that rule, and all this proves is that we need more Twitter during NBA games. I don't care if it's on the bench, it's fully necessary. Why not at the scorer's table? We'll let Adam Silver figure that out, rather than potentially changing the playoff format.

Bridges finished the game with 20 points, including an impressive second half at both ends of the floor (which is saying a lot in this contest), to take home Rising Stars Challenge MVP.

Well-played, young fella.
