The Knicks won 104-97 on Sunday as the team continues to thrive thanks to new starter Jeremy Lin. Lin led the team again to victory and posted a huge double-double in the game. The Knicks move to an even 16-16 on the season while improving their home record to 9-8. The team got out to an early lead and, although they lost it, was able to come back big in the fourth quarter to get the victory.

The Knicks were led by Lin who scored 28 in the contest. He also led the team in assists with 14. The other nice thing to see from Lin was a significant reduction in the number of turnovers he committed. This has been the one thing that has plagued him, but he was able to do much better in that area. The team was up 32-20 after the first, but was outscored 55-40 in between the second and third quarters. They then went on to outscore the Mavs 32-22 in the fourth to seal the deal though.

The Mavericks were led by Dirk Nowitski who led all scorer was in the game with 34. Jason Terry led the team in assist as well. The team scored 20 or more in each quarter of the game and provided a great opponent for the Knicks as the Mavericks have been one of the hottest teams in the NBA as of late. The Mavericks move to 20-12 on the year with the loss while their away record dropped to 8-7.
