Linsanity continues with buzzer-beater in Toronto

Share

The Sixers were off on Tuesday, but are back at it in Orlando on Wednesday. In the meantime, here's a question for you: Why doesn't Andre Iguodala get more respect (see story).

Now a look around the NBA ...

All he does is Lin
Just when you thought the legend could grow no more ... just when you thought the Lin-sanity couldn't get any crazier ... and just you thought he had done it all, this happens.

Jeremy Lin hit a three-pointer with less than a second remaining to give the Knicks a 90-87 win over the Raptors on Tuesday (see full recap).

Lin poured in 27 points and had a career-high 11 assists. New York has won six straight, including the last five with Lin as a starter.

Lin did have eight turnovers. Amar'e Stoudemire returned from a four-game hiatus with 21 points.

Behind Lin, the Knicks now stand at 14-15 and six games back of the Sixers in the Atlantic.
Road Warriors
The Heat easily dropped the Pacers, 105-90, to win their third road game in the last three days.

Miami became the first team in 33 years to win three straight on the road in three days (see full recap).

Miami is also the first in 42 years to win each of the three games by double digits. Phoenix was the last to win three in a row on the road in consecutive days, from Dec. 21-23, 1979. Milwaukee was the last team to win all three by at least 10 from Nov. 20-22, 1970.

LeBron James scored 23 points. Dwyane Wade added 16.
Bulls survive
Luol Deng scored 23 points and added 11 assists to lead the Derrick Rose-less Bulls past the Kings, 121-115.

Chicago nearly blew a 19-point fourth-quarter lead, but held on (see full recap).

Joakim Noah added 22 points and 11 boards. Former Sixer Kyle Korver chipped in another 18 for the Bulls and hit four free throws in the final 17.6 seconds to help seal it.

The victory clinched the Eastern Conference coaching spot at the All-Star game for the Bulls' Tom Thibodeau.

DeMarcus Cousins led Sacramento with 28 points and 17 rebounds. Tyreke Evans scored 27.

Wire-to-Wire
The Thunder never trailed in a 111-85 win over the Jazz.

James Harden scored 22 points, Kevin Durant added 21 for Oklahoma City, which has won eight straight (see full recap). At 22-6, the Thunder own the NBA's best record.
