Even as coach Kenny Atkinson tried to console Jeremy Lin — who had season-ending knee surgery Friday — it was the injured point guard that consoled his coach, pointing out that this season’s retooled Nets are far better equipped for life without Lin than last year’s shorthanded bunch. Now they’ll get to spend the rest...
