Hot in HUUUUURRR: Jeremy Lin torches the Spurs, gets photobombed by Nelly image

The Hornets got a big win Monday with a boost from Jeremy Lin, and no one was more excited about it than Nelly.

The Hornets beat the Spurs 91-88 at home as Lin came off the bench to score 29 points and grab seven rebounds.

Lin scored 15 points in the fourth quarter alone as the Hornets seized control of the game. Afterward, a soaking wet Lin was photobombed by rapper and Hornets minority owner Nelly while poor Dell Curry tried his best to keep his microphone dry.

The Spurs led 28-7 at the end of the first quarter before the Hornets slowly but surely chopped back into the game and into that lead. 

The Hornets are one of the hottest teams in the league — and no, we aren't kidding like Jason — as winners of 10 of their past 12 games.
