Maybe if Jeremy Lin had played this type of defense all season long, he wouldn’t have been relegated to the bench by Byron Scott. Of course, big chase-down blocks aren’t exactly commonplace for the Los Angeles Lakers’ defense-averse point guard – which is exactly why this one is so, so awesome.
If Lin and his teammates could defend with similar effectiveness on other possessions versus the league-leading Golden State Warriors, maybe the Lakers would have a chance to pull off an upset. Let’s just say we’re not counting on it.
Golden State leads Los Angeles 58-54 at intermission.
