On Tuesday, Knicks sensation Jeremy Lin took Linsanity to a whole new level against Toronto. With less than a second to play, he made a tie-breaking 3-pointer to cap his finishing flurry of six straight points. New York rallied to beat the Raptors 90-87, extending its winning streak to six games.

Lin, NBA’s first American-Taiwanese player, scored 27 points and added a career-high 11 assists in his first game since being named Eastern Conference player of the week. In just his fifth career start, Lin had no hesitation in taking the decisive shot. While he’s the one standing in the spotlight, Lin said sharing success with his teammates is as big a reward.

“It’s not because of me, it’s because we’re coming together as a team,” Lin said. “We started making these steps earlier but we were still losing close games and so obviously it wasn’t fun. But when you win, that solves a lot of problems. We’ve been winning and we’ve been playing together.”
