It was just like old times last night at Madison Square Garden as Jeremy Lin turned in a spectacular performance for the New York crowd. This time, though, he was playing against the Knicks.

Lin’s 22 points and eight rebounds helped the Houston Rockets snatch a 109-96 victory and become the first opposing team to walk out of MSG victorious this year.

"We're just thankful to get the win,” Lin said. “It was a lot of fun playing out there and I think our team, we took a step in the right direction. It was great to be back and it was a lot of fun to play on that court again."
