Jeremy Lin took his show on the road -- to the tune of 23 points and 10 assists -- as the Knicks pulled away from the lowly Wizards in a 107-93 win in Washington. Lin even dunked the ball and has scored 20 or more points in three straight games. Of course, he has exploded against the Nets, the Jazz and the Wizards. Those teams average about nine wins, so everyone would be wise to take a deep breath. But Lin still has injected some intrigue to a Knicks team that looked oddly listless. They are still without Carmelo Anthony (groin injury) and Amare Stoudemire (family death), so Lin, who was cut by the Warriors and demoted by the Knicks earlier this season, will have a chance to create an even bigger foothold.
The Nets don't have anyone that exciting to fall back on. They lost, 99-92, at home to Detroit. Deron Williams had 34 points, including 17 in the fourth quarter, but he couldn't stop the Nets' fourth straight loss.
