Jeremy Lin scored 25 points to go with seven assists in a 99-92 win over Deron Williams and the Nets earlier this month.

“It started on me,” Williams said of that Feb. 4 loss to Lin and the Knicks.

Williams responded with 38 points against the Knicks on Monday night, including 18 points in the first half, all on 3-pointers and free throws.

“We definitely had this one circled,” Williams said. “I think our whole team did. I know I personally did, because this was stuck in my mind. This all started on me.”

He added: “I don’t really watch sports. I don’t really watch too many games, but I do see Twitter. People tweeting me, and every three lines was Jeremy Lin destroyed Deron Williams. So I definitely took offense to that from the first game.”
