Jeremy Lin scored 26 points to go along with five assists and four steals on Wednesday night, but he also committed nine turnovers as the Knicks lost to the Hornets, marking the first time New York has lost since inserting Lin into the starting lineup. Lin really struggled during the first half, as he committed eight of his nine turnovers in the first 24 minutes of the game. He eventually heated up, and was able to get to the free throw line yet again (8-of-10), but ultimately it wasn't enough. Carmelo Anthony (groin) may return on Sunday, so all eyes will be on New York to see how the two players will co-exist. We think things will work just fine, so keep riding the red-hot Lin.
