Jeremy Lin has done it again. The Knicks have won their 6th straight game thanks to J-Lin coming up in the clutch and hitting a three with less than a second left in the game to secure a comeback win.This was Amar'e Stoudemire's first game back since February 4 vs. the Nets and he didn't disappoint. He scored 21 points, grabbed 9 rebounds, and seemed to play well with Lin. Tyson Chandler and Landry Fields also had great games. Chandler made all of his field goal attempts and and put up 13 points and 9 rebounds. Landry Fields had a stellar all-around game and finished with 8 points, 7 rebounds, and 7 assists.
I couldn't watch the game because I have Time Warner Cable, but my brother told me that the Knicks were down by 5 with less than 2 minutes left in the game. It looked as if Linsanity was going to hit a speed bump if the Knicks were going to lose to the Raptors. But no. Of course Lin hits a three to win it and finishes with a double-double (27 points, 11 assists). If scoring 38 against Kobe's Lakers doesn't validate him, this does. There's no denying that Lin is a great young player with a very bright future in the NBA.
Next, the Knicks will play the Sacramento Kings at home tomorrow and will look to extend their win streak to 7 games.
