Jeremy Lin won again at Madison Square Garden ? and for the first time this season, the New York Knicks didn't.
Lin had 22 points and eight assists in his return to New York, leading the Houston Rockets to a 109-96 victory Monday night that ended the Knicks' 10-gamehome winning streak to open the season.
No longer the fan favorite he was when he wore a Knicks uniform, Lin ? who left New York for a three-year, $25-million free-agent deal with Houston ? was both cheered and jeered as he added another masterpiece to the ones he put together last season during the height of "Linsanity."
He and James Harden (28 points) helped the Rockets beat the Knicks for the seventh straight time. New York, which had won four straight, was without leading scorer Carmelo Anthony, who has a sprained ankle.
at Oklahoma City 107, San Antonio 93: Serge Ibaka tied his career best with 25 points and had a season-high 17 rebounds as the Thunder won a battle of the West's two best teams, increased its winning streak to 11 games and improved its NBA-best record to 20-4.
at Memphis 80, Chicago 71: Mike Conley had 17 points and the Grizzlies overcame a poor start to beat the Bulls.
at Orlando 102, Minnesota 93: Glen Davis scored 28 points and J.J. Redick had 18 points and seven assists for the Magic.
at Phoenix 101, Sacramento 90: Former Laker Shannon Brown led the Suns with 22 points.
Clippers 88, at Detroit 76
