Jeremy Lin (bruised chest) no longer has muscle spasms and he's "hopeful and optimistic" that he'll play in Game 3 on Saturday. "We tried to do that shooting motion just to get range of motion [on Thursday], said Lin. "I have range of motion but I just don't think I have any force. We'll try again tomorrow."
