Lin won this round, though: he played well and his Rockets torched the Knicks for an easy victory.
Tonight Jeremy Lin played his first game since Linsanity as a visitor to Madison Square Garden. During introductions, some Knicks fans applauded, but during the game, he was booed and heckled whenever he touched the ball. The Knicks had the choice to re-sign Lin — he would've had no choice to stay in New York if they'd matched his contract offer — but many fans seemed to be under the impression that he had insisted on leaving the team.
Tyson Chandler gave Lin a harsh welcome via this flagrant foul. Chandler goes up against a driving Lin and brings his elbows down on Lin's face.
Elbow. To. The. Face.
Not really any reason for Chandler to bring his arms down like that, which is why he gets the flagrant.
