On Harvard’s next possession, Lin changed pace, dribbling right-to-left and releasing a gentle stop-and-pop jumper. The shot from thirteen feet out fell to give Lin his tenth point in fewer than four minutes. Lin added two free throws later to finish with 12 points. Though Lin’s play was far from...
