Knicks’ Lin Fires Up Garden With 28 Points in First Start
By HOWARD BECK
Published: February 6, 2012
Before Jeremy Lin could script his own encore, before he could throw a single pass or wiggle into the lane, the Knicks’ overactive marketing arm had already recast the day in his image. His face beamed from the team’s home page and in a promotional e-mail sent to fans, with a single-word pitch: “Linsanity.”
Even the Knicks underestimated just how Linsane the night would become.
Lin made the first start of his surprising N.B.A. career Monday just as the Knicks lost Amar’e Stoudemire and Carmelo Anthony, turning the roster upside down and setting the scene for another strange and wondrous evening at Madison Square Garden.
Lin was thrilling, occasionally erratic and ultimately exhausted, but he again electrified the crowd and propelled the Knicks to a stunning 99-88 victory over the Utah Jazz. His night ended with career highs in points (28) and assists (8), and booming chants of “M.V.P.!”
