Jeremy Lin and the Knicks look to bounce back tonight versus the Atlanta Hawks in the finale of a five-game homestand.
Arguably one of the best point guards in the NBA, Williams racked up 38 points in New Jersey's 100-92 victory in New York on Monday, leaving the Knicks with two losses in their last three games following an inspirational seven-game winning streak.

Lin led the way with 21 points and Amar'e Stoudemire scored 17 for New York, which welcomed the return of injured forward Carmelo Anthony.
