Jeremy Lin philosophical as mini-revival continues in Atlanta Hawks defeat by Brooklyn Nets
- Lin scores 16 points off the bench for Atlanta Hawks in Brooklyn return
- Veteran guard says ‘it’s not about makes or misses, it’s the quality of the shot’
Jeremy Lin has been giving the usual platitudes about playing it game by game. But there were more quiet signs on Wednesday night that his mini-revival is set to continue.
The 30-year-old scored 16 points off the bench in a 116-100 loss to the Brooklyn Nets at the Barclays Centre, with five rebounds, three assists and three steals in 28 minutes. That came on the back of his 15 points against the Miami Heat and 20 points at the Toronto Raptors in a rare start on Tuesday.
“I feel good, you know, tonight the shots didn’t fall the way I wanted to but for me it’s not about makes or misses, it’s about the quality of the shot,” Lin told Fox Sports in the locker room.
“I felt like I got really high quality shots tonight, honestly a tonne of them felt great. That’s how it is sometimes.”
In 36 games this season, the veteran guard is averaging 10.9 points, 3.6 assists and 2.4 rebounds in 19.1 minutes, mostly coming off the bench.
