Knicks wallop Kings


NEW YORK -- Jeremy Lin ignited a balanced New York attack with a career-high 13 assists as the Knicks stretched their NBA win streak to seven games on Wednesday with a 100-85 victory over Sacramento.

“Linsanity” continued at Madison Square Garden as Lin, the first US-born NBA player of Taiwanese and Chinese heritage, continued a magical run that has seen him rise from the Knicks bench to become a global sensation.

“It’s just crazy,” Lin said of his fairy-tale NBA fortnight. “We just came out with a lot of energy. Thanks to the fans for all the energy they have given us. Now we are riding the momentum. It has been fun.”

Knicks supporters chanting “M-V-P” for Most Valuable Player as Lin spoke to the crowd through a microphone after the victory, in which he played only 26 minutes but showed he can adapt to setting up teammates as well as scoring.

Lin’s career-best assist total, however, played the crucial role, his distribution allowing teammates to shine and the Knicks to reach 15-15 for the season.

In other NBA games, Orlando Magic whipped Philadelphia 76ers, 103-87; San Antonio Spurs defeated Toronto Raptors, 113-106; Detroit Pistons subdued Boston Celtics, 98-88; Cleveland Cavaliers ripped Indiana Pacers, 98-87; Memphis Grizzlies nipped New Jersey Nets, 105-100; Houston Rockets turned back Oklahoma City Thunder, 96-95; New Orleans Hornets walloped Milwaukee Bucks, 92-89; Minnesota Timberwolves trounced Charlotte Bobcats, 102-90; Dallas Mavericks routed Denver Nuggets, 102-84; Atlanta Hawks drubbed Phoenix Suns, 101-99; Portland Trailblazers nipped Golden State Warriors, 93-91; and LA Clippers demolished Washington Wizards, 102-84.
