Jeremy Lin drops 21 points to help Hornets tie playoff series

Charlotte nabs their second straight playoff victory over the Miami Heat.



No big deal. Just Jeremy Lin being hella Jeremy Lin when the Hornets need it the most. The guard from Harvard has been on fire, dropping 21 points off the bench Monday night and helping Charlotte nab their second straight playoff victory over the Miami Heat, tying the Eastern Converence series 2-2.

Relentlessness of Kemba Walker, Jeremy Lin help Hornets tie series

Lin was the second-leading scorer behind Kemba Walker in the Hornets' 89-85 victory over the Heat. The guy has been relentless, not just in Game 4, but this entire series. In four playoff games, he's averaging 19.1 points per 36 minutes and shooting 50 percent inside the three-point line.

As usual, here's a conveniently compiled video of Jeremy's game highlights from Monday night:

Jeremy Lin leads Hornets to first playoff win in 14 years

Lin scored 18 points to lead Charlotte to a 96-80 rout over the Miami Heat.



Boom. In case you missed it.. Over the weekend, Jeremy Lin stepped up with 18 points to lead the Hornets to a 96-80 rout over the Miami Heat and helping Charlotte nab their first playoff win in fourteen years.

Lin Leads Hornets in Playoff Win

Miami took the first two games over Charlotte in the opening series of the Eastern Conference playoffs. But in game three, the Hornets stung back. The win is the Hornets' first in the playoffs since 2002, and snapped a 12-game playoff losing streak that would have tied the NBA's longest with another defeat.

Charlotte' bench outscored Miami's 34-13 on Saturday night, led by Jeremy's team-high 18 points off the bench. He also added four rebounds, four assists and a steal in 26 minutes.

And, of course, here's a video of Jeremy's highlights from Saturday night:

Jeremy Lin scores 29 to stun San Antonio

Lin helps the Hornets come from behind -- waaay behind-- and deal the Spurs a historic loss.



Boom. Jeremy Lin had one hell of a night, scoring 29 points off the bench to help the Charlotte Hornets push past the San Antonio Spurs -- reminding everybody what that Linsanity thing was all about.

You could say Monday night got off to a slow start for Charlotte. The Spurs, coming off a win against the Warriors, held the Hornets to seven points in the first quarter -- the worst first quarter of the NBA season.

But as you may have heard, Jeremy knows a thing or two about being the underdog.

The 27-year-old guard scored 12 points in the second quarter to help kickstart the Charlotte offense and start the process of chopping down San Antonio's daunting 23-point lead. He followed that up by scoring 15 points in the fourth quarter to help Hornets rally for a 91-88 victory, snapping the Spurs' six-game winning streak.

Lin was 11 of 18 from the field and hit all four 3-point attempts, including three in the fourth quarter, and provided the go-ahead jumper with 48 seconds left. Dude was hot fire.

And here's the video evidence:

On the eve of our 4-year Linsanniversary, Jeremy Lin reminded everybody what that business was all about, scoring 24 points and helping the Charlotte Hornets beat the Cleveland Cavaliers, 106-97.

On Wednesday night, with starting point guard Kemba Walker out with a sore knee, Jeremy scored 24 points on 7-for-13 shooting, with eight assists and five rebounds against the Eastern Conference-leading Cavaliers.

He scored 11 points in the third quarter, helping Charlotte overcome a nine-point halftime deficit, grab the lead and ultimately snap a four-game losing streak against Cleveland.

Here's the supercut video of Jeremy's highlights from Wednesday's game:

Guess he didn't get the memo.

There sure were "a lot of Oriental fans" at the Charlotte Hornets home opener.



Real quick. I point your attention to this opinion piece posted on NBA.com, recapping the Charlotte Hornets' home opener last Sunday. The author notes that there was a visible increase in Oriental fans in the crowd, no doubt attributable to what he calls "the Jeremy Lin impact." Hey wait, did you just say "Oriental"?

In case you missed it... On Wednesday night, the Charlotte Hornets played their season opener against the Miami Heat, losing 104-94. But Jeremy Lin, rocking his latest crazy, baffling haircut, had a pretty decent night. Your favorite Asian American point guard showed up, scoring 17 points off the bench.

Here's a video with all of Jeremy's highlights:

Jeremy Lin had to convince a Hornets security guard that he plays for Charlotte

"Went to the Hornets arena for 1st time and tried convincing security im a player. She said, 'what team?!?'"



After bouncing around to several NBA teams over the last three years, I imagine that newly signed Hornets guard Jeremy Lin is arriving in Charlotte with a few things to prove. But first, he'll have to prove that he belongs on the team. No, really -- he'll have to prove that to the Hornets' security in order to get into the team arena.

Jeremy Lin says Hornets security didn't believe he was NBA player

Over the weekend, Jeremy went to Time Warner Cable Arena, where the Hornets play, for the first time and apparently had a little bit of trouble at the door convincing arena security that he's a player. Not a fan. Not a trainer. A player. With a two-year $4.4 million contract to play for the Charlotte Hornets.

Jeremy tweeted about the incident with a good-natured "lollll":
