RENO, Nev.- Coming out of intermission with the game knotted at 44, the Reno Bighorns outscored the Idaho Stampede by 22 points in the second half Saturday night, en route to 107-85 victory in the Reno Events Center.

A balanced Bighorns scoring attack included 16 points from Jeremy Lin, playing in his third game with Reno since being assigned by the Golden State Warriors. In 29 minutes of action, Lin's backcourt mate Aaron Miles registered 12 points, seven boards and nine assists. Marcus Landry hit four three-pointers on his way to 13 points.

Idaho (2-13) was paced by a 19-point effort from Seth Tarver. Cedric Jackson scored 11 points with eight assists and four steals, and Antoine Walker chipped-in 16 with four boards and four assists.
