After clinching a hard-fought away victory over the Timberwolves, the Knicks broke their two-day winless streak, bringing their record to 33-14. With a win over the Timberwolves, the Knicks ended the month of January.
Lin Yi, meanwhile, kept up his steady rise. For the month, he averaged an impressive 23 points, 11.7 rebounds, 7.1 assists, 2.9 blocks, and 1.1 steals per game.
Unsurprisingly, he was named Eastern Conference Rookie of the Month — again. At this point, it wasn’t ...

As Christmas approached, Arsenal fans found little to cheer about.
The team’s form had been wildly inconsistent. One week they’d put in a dominant performance, like the 4–0 win away at West Brom, only to follow it up with a lackluster home defeat, such as the 0–2 loss to Swansea.
Round 14: Everton 1–1 Arsenal
Round 15: Arsenal 0–2 Swansea
Round 16: West Brom 0–4 Arsenal
After the first quarter, the Mavericks held a 29-24 lead over the Knicks.
To open the second quarter, the Knicks subbed in Harrington, Gallinari, Belinelli, and Lou Williams alongside Lin Yi.
The Mavs responded with Dampier, Marion, Butler, Stevenson, and J.J. Barea.
Lin Yi glanced over at the Mavericks' point guard and couldn’t help but mutter, "Man... I could probably eat Barea alive. No way he’s 180 cm."
Lin had seen small guards like Chris Paul and Allen Iverso...

The loss to the Lakers didn’t rattle Knicks fans all that much.
In fact, over time, Knicks fans had grown strangely protective, especially of their rising star. Lin Yi still remembered how Madison Square Garden used to erupt with applause for any highlight, even if it came from an opposing player. Knicks fans had seen so much mediocrity, they just wanted someone to put on a show.
But now? It was different.
When the brilliance came from their own, the vibe...

What disappointed the fans most was that this Lakers-Knicks matchup lacked the intensity and drama of their last showdown.
It was the kind of game where you feel like you were hyped up for something big… only to be let down hard.
In the end, the Lakers cruised to a comfortable 117–96 win at Madison Square Garden. From the moment the ball was tipped, it was clear they weren’t here to mess around.
Many Lakers fans had long believed that Bynum was better than Lin Yi, but ...

On January 15, the Knicks finally made it back to New York.
Back at MSG, the surging Knicks were set to face the Toronto Raptors. Before tip-off, Lin Yi and DeRozan put on a little dunk show during warmups, trying to out-fly each other.
“DeMar’s heading to the Dallas All-Star Dunk Contest too,” Kenny Smith noted during the pregame. “The rookie is averaging 9.8 this season and throws down some sick fast-break jams.”
Of course, DeRoz...

Philadelphia 76ers head coach Eddie Jordan was having a rough day.
The Knicks were coming to town, and the Sixers still didn’t know how the hell they were supposed to guard Lin Yi.
A couple of his assistants had already come up with all sorts of shady excuses—stomachaches, emergency girlfriend pregnancies... you name it.
Maybe that was a bit of an exaggeration—but you get the picture.
Then there was Dalembert.

Well… not exactly. But he didn’t look like himself either.
After three quarters, he was 8-for-12 from the field, 1-for-3 from beyond the arc, and perfect from the line with 2-for-2. Nineteen points—not terrible by any means, but it felt quiet.

Two straight wins had given Arsenal a much-needed boost in morale.
The most noticeable effect? Arsenal were climbing the table again, finally building some momentum.
From a lowly 14th place, they had surged up to 5th.
They were now three points ahead of their bitter rivals, Tottenham Hotspur:
5th: Arsenal – 6 wins, 2 draws, 3 losses – 20 points
7th: Tottenham – 5 wins, 2 draws, 4 losses – 17 points
But that cushion wasn’t likely to last.
