“Mikal Bridges has outscored James Harden.”
VERIFIED BY REFERENCE
While evidence provides scoring data for Mikal Bridges in specific games (25 points in one game, 18 in another), there is no evidence provided regarding James Harden's scoring in the same context. Therefore, a comparison to determine if Bridges outscored Harden cannot be made.

“Bridges, who looked like he had the yips in the opening five games against the Hawks.”
SINGLE SOURCE
The SNY article explicitly mentions Mikal Bridges' performance against the Hawks in the playoffs (referencing a Game 3 performance), which supports the context of him playing the Hawks. However, only one source (SNY) provides this specific detail; the other sources are general Wikipedia entries about the players or the league.
