In the end it was Lin, with 22 points and eight assists, leading the Rockets to victory. A familiar romp on the Garden court.
His old fans booed him. His old friend clobbered him. Otherwise, it was Linsanity all over again at Madison Square Garden.
So far this year, Lin certainly hasn't shown much to make anyone think that the Knicks did the wrong thing by letting him go.
Cheer him, boo him, whatever -- The bottom line is that Jeremy Lin has been a non-factor since leaving New York.
Linsanity was a short, but spectacular time in Knicks' history. Even though he's gone, the New York Knicks' locker room is filled with Lin admirers.
Kyrie Irving put in a memorable performance as the Cavs gave the Knicks everything they could handle. New York escaped with a tight victory.
Carmelo Anthony and Rasheed Wallace will miss out against the Cavs. Chris Copeland gets the start.
On Friday night, Oklahoma City Thunder superstar Kevin Durant hit the court with "Newtown CT" on his sneakers to honor the victims of the massacre.
It's goofy, tone-deaf and weird. In other words, a total airball.
The pregame boos had barely finished, and Mike D'Antoni suddenly had much bigger problems. But by the time it was over, the victorious Knicks had a problem of their own.
Carmelo Anthony scored 22 of his 30 points in the first period, and the Knicks held on after he departed with a sprained left ankle to beat the Lakers 116-107 in coach Mike D'Antoni's return to Madison Square Garden.
Was Mike D'Antoni's tenure ultimately a failure? Yes. Does he deserve hate and vitriol from Knicks fans? No way.
Things are going great for Carmelo Anthony and the Knicks. As for the Lakers and former New York coach Mike D'Antoni? Not so much.
In the end, thanks mostly to an unbelievable offensive performance by Carmelo Anthony, the Knicks stole one in Brooklyn that they had no business winning.
They say you can't teach an old dog new tricks. Apparently nobody ever told Jason Kidd.
