HOU Rockets Vs New York Knicks featuring LinSanity.

Back were it all started.  Can Jeremy Lin shake off any jitters on his return visit to Madison-Square Garden?  Let's find out. 

With a slow start and Lin on the bench at the beginning of the game, the Knicks kicks things into action.  Carmelo Anthony is moving well for the second day in a row. He is showing off his talent and making baskets count.  Houston is trying to get their rhythm going and being patient with the progress.  After the first half Houston brings Lin in the game, the Knicks are unsure how to respond.  Linsanity just got back. By half-time Houston found their way and is up by one point.  But rest assure the Knicks are still insight.  HOU 53, NY 52

With feeling comfortable in his old home, Lin has control of the ball, moving great, spotting openings, shooting 3-pointers, he's made the most of his visit.  His teammates knew it was his time to shine so they let L I N  S H I N E.  I just love this guy.  He has no fears and knows that tomorrow is not promise.  So he makes the best of every game, but this one is truly special.  To play in Madison Square Garden is an honor but to play against the team that could not balance faith, talent and $$$ in him is another thing.  Lin has shaken off all those jitters and has planted himself  as a great NBA player.  One intelligent guy playing one intelligent game and keeping it clean, what more can you ask for. 

So let's move to the excitement of the night.  Guy's this is good.  Carmelo hits a 3-point basket just when a foul was called and takes him to the line.  You would have thought that this was going to tie the game for overtime, but the Refs. spotted a foul that took Melo to the free throw line.  The fans went wild at first, then the ruling came down and people were stunned to hear the results.  Team players reacting upset and fans unhappy.  Not good for the Knicks.   Click below to see for yourself. http://cdn3.sbnation.com/assets/3573851/melogod.gif

With 5 seconds left to play Houston looks for an opening, find Harden and he's fouled.  Another great free thrower at the line and you don't won't this.  But the Knicks had not choice hoping to see if he would miss and get the ball back.  He nails both baskets and win the game.  Sorry Knicks, coming from a great win the other night over Atlanta I surely thought you guys could pull up another win before the weekend.  HOU 109, NY 106

Can the Knicks recover from Linsanity night in Madison-Square Garden?  Stay tune to see what happens.
