On a more positive note, his 28 points, 14 assists, and 5 steals against the Mavericks made him the fifth player in the past 15 seasons to record such a line. The Heat have won six straight games by 10 or more points, which is tied for the second-most in franchise history.

Amar’e Stoudemire is an afterthought, and Carmelo Anthony and Tyson Chandler are hurt. So meet the new “Big Three” of the New York Knicks – Jeremy Lin, J.R. Smith and Steve Novak. The trio combined to lead the Knicks to a nationally televised 104-97 victory over the defending champion Dallas Mavericks on Sunday, their eight win in nine games.

Lin had nine turnovers – matching a league season high – in his first loss as a starter, Friday’s 89-85 home setback to the lowly New Orleans Hornets. Winning had allowed people to overlook Lin’s ballhandling, but he has 29 turnovers in his
Bernucca: How Stern helped Lin land in New York
Did David Stern unintentionally direct Jeremy Lin to the New York Knicks? The commissioner vetoed the first Chris Paul trade, which would have sent Houston Rockets point guard Goran Dragic to the New Orleans Hornets. The Rockets had five point guards in training camp – Lin, Dragic, Kyle Lowry, Jonny Flynn and Bulgarian combo guard Ibrahim Jabeer, who did not play in either preseason game.

Tweet of the Day: Jeremy Lin
I hate to continue to post tweets about the whole Jeremy Lin phenomenon, but this seems like the start of a waning story. The Knicks lost to the lowly New Orleans Hornets after winning seven in a row, and it came in an unlikely fashion. Looking sloppy since the opening tip, the Knicks, due in large part to Lin’s NBA season-high 9 turnovers, lost at home. This was a considerable upset as the Hornets are completely depleted with injuries
Lin streak over for Knicks; LeBron hot in Cleveland
Jeremy Lin’s joy ride was going to end at some point. But who believed it would be the bottom-feeding Hornets that channeled their inner Susan Powter to stop the Linsanity? Yeah, sure, Lin had another big stat line with 26 points, five assists and four steals.
