Acting Rockets coach Kelvin Sampson said that Jeremy Lin was benched for the majority of the fourth quarter on Wednesday because Toney Douglas was "a much better matchup with Nate [Robinson]." Lin is in the midst of a brutal shooting slump (28.8 percent in his last seven games), which makes it harder to justify having him on the floor late. Chances are that his fourth quarter minutes won't be a major issue once his offense comes around. It's worth noting that Lin's 26 minutes on Wednesday marked just the second time all season that he played less than 30 minutes in a game.
