G League: Jeremy Lin notches 29 points in the Santa Cruz Warriors first win of season in Orlando

Jeremy Lin helped lead the Santa Cruz Warriors over the Westchester Knicks with 29 points on 9-of-12 shooting from the field on Monday.

Before the Warriors welcomed Kevin Durant back to the Bay Area on Saturday night, Golden State’s G League affiliate was busy in the Orlando bubble.

After a pair of losses, the Santa Cruz Warriors were looking for their first win of the young season. Jeremy Lin answered the bill, scoring a game-high 29 points on 9-of-12 shooting from the field against the Knicks. Lin caught fire from long distance, drilling seven triples on nine attempts from long distance. Lin tacked on nine assists and two steals to lead Santa Cruz to a 124-116 win at the Disney World campus.
