Jeremy Lin seems to be in the groove again and this time, the Los Angeles Clippers were the unfortunate ones to witness it.
Playing yet again on familiar territory, the Staples Center in Los Angeles, Lin seems to have shrugged off criticism for his inability to keep his composure in the clutch.
Just recently, Lin was hit hard for his turnovers against the Phoenix Suns. But it seems that Lin has used that as reason to come up with something big over the unsuspecting Clippers.
Lin was in full display and fully armed, offering bright moments that made it seem he was ready for anything. In fact, he seemed to be too much in the zone that he would take on anyone thrown at him or even perhaps the entire Clippers' five on the floor.
Now, while Lin was putting up another amazing show and memories of the old Linsanity, his efforts would have been neat if the Charlotte Hornets ended up with a win.
The Hornets still lost that game (97–83), putting Lin's numbers (27 points, four rebounds and four assists) all for naught. It was the sixth straight loss for the struggling Hornets who are trying to keep their heads above water with key players injured.
Lin, who started for the Hornets yet again, believes, however, that hard played games such as that one could eventually reap dividends for the Hornets. The Hornets are currently sporting a 17–20 card but are still within striking distance of the Magic 8.
But to do that, they need to pray that they find a way to rack up more wins and Lin knows he has to be consistent to help out.
After that loss, the team dropped another one against the Denver Nuggets, 95–92.
After that explosive game against the Clippers, Lin managed only two markers as he slid back to the bench, with Nicolas Batum back in harness.
