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

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.

Jordan Poole followed Lin with 26 points on 8-of-16 shooting from the field with four rebounds, an assist and a block. Nico Mannion continued his steady play in the Orlando Bubble, recording 22 points, seven assists and five rebounds in the Warriors’ win over the Knicks.

Following Saturday’s victory, the Santa Cruz squad will have the opportunity to build a winning streak on Monday with a tilt against the Raptors 905 slated to tip off at 7 p.m. PST.
