Jeremy Lin hit 4-of-11 shots from the field (including a three) in the Knicks' 104-99 loss to the Bulls on Monday, scoring 15 points with eight rebounds, three steals, three blocks, and three turnovers in 32 minutes. Lin had a minor ankle tweak but played through it. Carmelo Anthony added eight rebounds, three assists, two steals, and a block, but hit just 8-of-21 shots from the field and displayed his usual assortment of questionable decision-making, lack of effort, and bad body language. For Lin's part, he is going to plug along and continue to be productive, and offensively the Knicks are simply suffering from an identity crisis. Melo isn't pounding the air out of the ball, but the spacing, cuts, and motion when Lin was surrounded by role players were much better.
