Former NBA star Jeremy Lin ends the G League season with another 20-point performance in the losing effort

Jeremy Lin’s stint with the Santa Cruz Warriors in the NBA G League has come to an end as they fell to the Lakeland Magic, 108-96, in the knockout semifinals on Tuesday, March 9 (Wednesday, March 10, Manila time) at the Disney World bubble in Orlando, Florida.

One-time NBA champion Lin topscored for the Warriors with 20 points, his sixth 20+ point game this season, along with 4 assists in the losing effort.

Down by just 4, 79-75, at the start of the final period, Lin and the Warriors failed to keep in step with the fiery Magic, who led by as many as 19 points, 101-82, with 7 minutes remaining, which ultimately sealed the ball game.

Robert Franks led the way for the Magic with 23 points, while Jeff Dowtin and Devin Cannady added 17 and 14 markers, respectively.

Lin, the Taiwanese-American basketball sensation, who is known for his unforgettable “Linsanity” run in 2012, proved he can still play at a high level in the G League as he averaged 19.0 points, 3.2 rebounds and 6.3 assists in 11 games.

With his stellar play all throughout the G League season, it wouldn’t be surprising to see the “Linsanity” back in the NBA anytime soon. – Rappler.com
