Walker, Lin help Hornets even series with Heat

Watch: Hornets' Lin drops a Jordan shrug after hitting trey against Heat

Jeremy Lin must figure imitating one's boss is the sincerest form of flattery because after hitting a three in Game 4 against the Miami Heat on Monday, the Charlotte Hornets guard looked right at owner Michael Jordan and gave him the shrug.

The shrug, of course, became legendary in Game 1 of the 1992 NBA Finals when Jordan scored 35 points in the first half. After burying his sixth 3-pointer, Jordan looked over at Magic Johnson, broadcasting the game for NBC, and shrugged in bemusement.

For the record, Lin scored 21 points in Monday's Game 4 win over the Heat. The series is now tied at two games apiece.

Nowitzki passes Pippen on NBA's all-time playoff scoring list

In what may be the final game of the season for his Dallas Mavericks, Dirk Nowitzki found himself moving up the NBA's all-time playoff scoring list once again.

Having already leaped Wilt Chamberlain and Elgin Baylor this postseason, the 37-year-old sharpshooting big man's fourth point of Game 5 on Monday evening against the Oklahoma City Thunder was enough to take 14th place on the list from legendary Chicago Bulls forward Scottie Pippen.
