Jeremy Lin’s heroics for Hornets nearly shot down by Kristaps Porzingis

Jeremy Lin scored 17 points including several crucial plays at the end of the game that helped the Charlotte Hornets hang on a tight two point win over the New York Knicks.

Lin also dished out three assists and had three steals in 21 minutes. Jeremy’s effort and timely shot making was nearly thwarted by the Knick’s 7-3 rookie Kristaps Porzingis, who hit a long three at the buzzer. Had the shot counted, the Knicks would have walked out with the one point win, but after reviewing the shot, it was a tenth of a second too late.
