Lin’s aggression bails out Rockets against Raptors http://tinyurl.com/m7lqdet

If one very long, very weird game is to be believed, this sixth man thing
might just work out for Jeremy Lin.

There was no doubt, after two overtimes and all kinds of odd twists, it
worked for the Rockets on Monday and just in time.

That part of the Rockets’ early-season experimentation has a long way to go
before any conclusion could be reached, though Rockets coach Kevin McHale did
seem to be cooling on the experiment of playing Dwight Howard and Omer Asik
together. But for one game, a game in which few could shoot straight, Lin
came off the Rockets bench and gave them just what they needed, saving them
before what would have been the worst of their homestand losses.


Lin scored 31 points on 10 of 17 shooting, giving the Rockets just enough of
an offensive jolt to take them to a 110-104 double overtime win over the
Toronto Raptors.

“For any player, if you can get the defense at your mercy – if you can hit
the shot and drive by them – there is really nothing they can do anymore,”
 Lin said after scoring more than he has in all but his two 38-point games. “
I didn’t really shoot well at all in the first half. We were all in a funk.
But then we broke through in the 3rd quarter.

“I think I would say from a pure field goal attempt standpoint, this is the
most aggressive I have been this year. I think once you get in a zone, you
are in that zone and there is nothing that can faze you at that point.”

On a night in which the Rockets shut down the Raptors with their most
complete defensive effort since the season opener, holding Toronto to 33.3
percent shooting (by far the worst for a Rockets opponent), they could not
shoot well enough to make a 17-point second half lead, or an 11-point lead
fourth quarter lead hold up.

Lin, however, was under standing orders to attack, and followed them for 46
minutes, scoring more points off the bench for any Rockets player since Carl
Landry had 31 in the 2009-10 season.

“Jeremy was in attack mode going in,” Rockets coach Kevin McHale said. “
Jeremy is one of the few guys right now shooting with a little bit of
confidence and he made some shots.

“With Jeremy we talked about it, about him coming off bench,” McHale said.
“I told him, ‘Hey, you have to just go out there and just play. You’ve
worked hard all summer. I’ve said it all training camp and the first part of
the season, I think he has more bounce in his legs. He’s got more juice. He’
s been playing very, very well for us. He’s just got to go out there and
play. He made some big shots for us.”

The way the Raptors were scoring, he had seemed to have staked the Rockets to
enough of a lead when he nailed a long jumper with 6:54 left, putting the
Rockets up 82-71. The Rockets, however, continued their recent trend of
slogging through long dry spells and scored just five points the rest of the
quarter with Lin taking just one more shot.

left-handed drive with a 95-92 lead with 66 seconds remaining. But the
Rockets could not close out the win. Choosing not to foul Rudy Gay, who had
made just 9 of 30 shots, they allowed Gay to nail a 3 with nine tenths of a
second remaining. After Lin missed on an awkward, off-balance heave at the
buzzer, the game went to a second overtime.

Again, Lin started the Rockets with the lead with another foot-on-the-line
jumper. But this time, he had enough help for the Rockets to finally get the
win.

Averaging 16.1 points, Lin’s 54.5 percent shooting is second among the
Rockets only to Dwight Howard. His 45.5 percent 3-point shooting leads the
Rockets by a wide margin. But his scoring was more vital than at any point
this season.

“I started feeling pretty good and got in a rhythm once I got a couple of
shots to go down.I am thankful to God for the game. You know that lefty shot
 I hit at the end - I don’t think I have ever done that in my life, besides
 like working on it in workouts but never in a game, so I was definitely in
a zone and attacking and making plays.”
