Lin and Knicks Bury the Cavaliers.

     After the long All-Star break, the New York Knicks came back tonight in a thrilling 120-103 win against the Cleveland Cavaliers, at Madison Square Garden. At halftime, the Knicks trailed the Cavaliers with the score of 61-49. They came out of the locker room as a new team with extreme motivation to take over and win the game. This was quite possibly the most well-rounded team performance seen from the Knicks ever since superstar Carmelo Anthony returned. There were six Knicks players with double digit scores, including double-doubles by both Jeremy Lin and Tyson Chandler.
     Chandler finished the game with an impressive 15 rebounds,13 points and 4 blocks, and Steve Novak shot the lights out from beyond the arch, going 5-8 with three pointers giving him 17 points to help lead the Knicks to a win. Carmelo Anthony even had an impressive game after a weak start coming back from injury. Anthony, being the highest scorer for his team tonight, left his mark with 22 points, 5 rebounds, and 4 assists.
     Once again, one of the biggest sensations of the night was Jeremy Lin. Despite his weak performance against the Miami Heat, he brought back Linsanity to Knicks fans by contributing 19 points and 13 assists, giving him a double-double. Now wait; how many turnovers did he have for the night? Only 1 turnover! WOW that is a big improvement since turnovers have been his greatest flaw. Many analysts on sports center and different sports articles were predicting the downfall of Lin since the Heat game. Coaches would want to imitate the swarming defense that the Heat played on Lin, but it did not work tonight against the young New York star. Through this game against the Cavaliers, it is shown that Jeremy Lin is not finished displaying his explosive and impressive playing to fans and critics. THE LINSANITY CONTINUES IN NEW YORK!!!
