Lin does it again! 38 points, 7 dimes to beat Kobe and the Lakers

If you missed Friday night’s game, you missed an instant classic. Luckily, here’s a video of tonight’s highlights.

All the cheering and screaming at Madison Square Garden you hear in this video could have been happening at Toyota Center. As well as national TV games, increased attention in the U.S., Asia, and around the world.

And here’s ESPN coverage and analysis from Magic Johnson, Jon Barry, Michael Wilbon, and Chris Broussard after the game:

How bad do the Rockets look for cutting him and keeping Jonny Flynn instead? And how sick must Daryl Morey be feeling after seeing how Lin has performed this week? This is one of those occasions where stats and being a lottery pick (Flynn was the 6th pick in the draft) was valued more important than heart, desire and work ethic of an undrafted free agent…which is so odd since the Rockets are known for valuing that in their players past and present (Scola, Lowry, Chuck Hayes, Yao, etc). We would love to get your comments below about this.
