The Knicks won 100-85 on Wednesday as they have improved their record to an even .500. This is thanks to a 7-game win streak the team has had since the enhanced performance of former bench-warmer Jeremy Lin. After Carmelo Anthony got injured and Staudemire suffered a death in his family, Lin has come on and took New York by storm. The Knicks are 15-15 now on the season and improved their home record to 8-7 on the year. Currently, the whole basketball world is focusing their attention on the Knicks who with the addition of Anthony may be a viable threat to make a deep run into the playoffs.

The Knicks were led by Landry Fields who scored only 15 in the contest. Most of the team was able to contribute in some way as many got a fair amount of points. Fields also led the team in rebounds with 10. Lin’s biggest contribution was 13 assists he had in the contest. It appears that with Anthony coming back and Staudemire back in the mix, Lin will be looking to dish the ball and start things when transitioning. If this is so, Lin must improve in the passing department as his one flaw has been turning the ball over.

The Kings were led by Tyreke Evans who scored 19 on the day and added 5 assists to lead the team in each category. JJ Hickson also added 6 rebounds to lead the team. The Kings fell way behind early as they were outscored 54-36 in the contest. The team scored over 20 points in just the fourth quarter as they were under 20 the rest of the contest.
