‘The Architect of the Whole Plan’: Harvard Law Graduate Ken Chesebro’s Path to Jan. 6
After a tough, overtime loss to the Boston Celtics on Sunday, Jeremy Lin and the Knicks were not able to bounce back against the Dallas Mavericks on Tuesday night. The Knicks were defeated, 95-85, by the Mavs at the American Airlines Center.
Jeremy Lin’s less-than-stellar performance contributed to the Knicks’ struggles. Lin scored 14 points, only half of what he contributed in the Feb. 29 home win against Dallas. The Harvard grad had only two turnovers and seven assists, but it was not enough to propel the now-struggling team to victory.
The Knicks threatened a comeback at the start of the fourth quarter, scoring 15 points in a row within the first seven minutes. Amare Stoudemire led the charge, with 26 points overall, while Lin sat on the bench during the seven-minute span.
Dirk Nowitzki and Jason Kidd were the top scorers for the Dallas team, putting up 28 and 15 points, respectively.
Tuesday’s loss now gives the Knicks a 2-3 record in their last five games. Lin and the Knicks will look to recapture the magic on Wednesday night as they take on the San Antonio Spurs at Madison Square Garden.
