The New York Knicks and Linsanity are hosting the New Orleans Hornets on Friday at Madison Square Garden. Jeremy Lin has led the Knicks to a seven-game winning streak and the Hornets enter the game with a dismal 6-23 record, but in the early going, the Hornets look intent on snapping the streak and clamping down on the newly-minted superstar. Midway through the second quarter, the Hornets hold a 39-33 lead.
Lin has started slow, turning the ball over three times before scoring a point. By the time he nabbed his first bucket, he already had amassed five turnovers. Midway through the second quarter, he has totaled six points, six turnovers, two steals, an assist and a rebound.
The Hornets put together a big first quarter, outscoring the Knicks 27-13. The Knicks have come back in the second quarter but still trail.
