Lin delivers once more

Jeremy Lin hit a 3-pointer for the win on Tuesday evening to help the New York Knicks overcome the Toronto Raptors.
Playing before a pro-Lin crowd, despite the game being on the Raptors home court, the undrafted free agent was 9-of-20 with 11 assists for a game-high 27 points in the 90-87 victory. Amare Stoudemire, in his
first game back after dealing with a family tragedy chipped in with 21 more as New York won its sixth consecutive game to move to within one of .500.
If not for Lin the story of the night would have been the Washington Wizards who went into Portland and surprised the Trailblazers 124-109. It was just the third away win of the campaign for the Wizards who received 35 points from Nick Young.

LeBron James had 23 points and Chris Bosh and Dwyane Wade combined for an additional 29 more as Miami travelled to Indiana and defeated the Pacers 105-90. Also picking up the win and continuing to lead the Eastern Conference are the Chicago Bulls.
Chicago played once more without defending MVP Derrick Rose, but had enough to beat the visiting Sacramento Kings at the United Center.
The Bulls are 5001.00 to win the NBA Eastern Conference, with the Heat 1.71.
