JEREMY Lin's introduction to the NBA playoffs couldn't be a much tougher one.
After sparking the Linsanity craze last season while going from sleeping on a teammate's couch to becoming a sudden star, Lin is making his playoff debut with a head-to-head match-up against All-Star Russell Westbrook.
Not much went right for Lin in his first postseason game.
He made just one of his seven shots, committed four turnovers to go with his four assists and ended up with four points, almost 10 less than his season average. He didn't fare much better on defense, with Westbrook falling just two rebounds shy of a triple-double despite sitting out the fourth quarter of a 120-91 blowout by Oklahoma City.
The Rockets will need more from Lin if they hope to make it a series against the top-seeded Thunder. Game 2 is in Oklahoma City today. "Jeremy will be fine. He's a tough kid. He bounces back," Rockets coach Kevin McHale said.
