2. Jeremy Lin is more comfortable offensively.
Jeremy Lin is now 4-for-4 from the field plus 5 FT’s for his 14 points plus 4 dimes and 4 boards. Good production in 21 minutes.

This time around, Lin didn’t get as many pick-and-roll situations with Ed Davis. He looked for his shot, especially with dribble penetration. He was a more effective finisher, and was able to draw fouls against the defense. He was more into his element as a scorer, and even showed a Nash-like probing of the defense off-the-dribble. That led to an easy lay up for him. More importantly, he’s doing a far better job taking care of the basketball. Through two games, he has 14 total assists on 2 turnovers.
