Nets drop 67 in 2nd half, defeat Knicks in Lin’s return to MSG: 121-110
Nicole Sweet-USA TODAY SportsThe last time I saw Jeremy Lin at MSG, I ended up slumped in my seat with my jaw locked down to the floor. It was one of the most – if not the most – incredible NBA underdog stories. And it had only just begun.
Five years later, Jeremy Lin, not Linsanity, made his return to MSG as a Brooklyn Net. The assistant coach during that time is now the head coach. Sometimes the NBA can be weird in a great way…
As Atkinson, Lin and the Nets made their 5-mile trek across town to Manhattan, they came away with a win over the New York Knicks, 121-110, on Thursday. The two teams played this past Sunday, a game in which the Nets won 120-112 and nailed 19 3-pointers.
