Dwane Casey got his NBA championship ring before the match. Jeremy Lin made his first start since being named Eastern Conference player of the week. His driving layup brought the Knicks within 6 after trailing 12 points early in the fourth quarter.
The Harvard boy led a New York comeback with a 10-0 run. He set up Amare Stoudemire for a slam which cut the lead to 4.
Jose Calderon made one of Toronto's nine turnovers in the period. Iman Shumpert would cut to the rack for a dunk, making it a 3-point game.
Then the Jeremy Lin show was underway, driving in for a 3-point play. He made the decisive free throw to tie it at 87 deep in the final quarter.
