(Sports Network) - Houston, you have Linsanity.

Point guard Jeremy Lin, after a star-making late-season turn with the New York Knicks, is leaving the Big Apple to join a team that cut him seven months ago.

The Rockets landed Lin after the Knicks refused to match an offer sheet for the point guard on Tuesday night.

Lin confirmed the news, exclaiming on Twitter: "Extremely excited and honored to be a Houston Rocket again!!"
