In the 4th quarter, Jeremy Lin landed awkwardly after he drove hard to the rim while being defended by 2 Pacers. The play resulted in a goal-tending call. Immediately after the fall, Jeremy sat up and his expression showed he was stunned knowing something has gone wrong and said, “I’m done! I’m done! I’m done!”. He slumped to the floor with tears realizing his injury might sideline him for a long time after working hard to recover from injury-riddled 2016-17 season.
