The New York Knicks are looking to make it two in a row tonight after they gave the NBA champion Dallas Mavericks a taste of Lin-sanity.
Breakout point guard Jeremy Lin led New York with 28 points as the Knicks beat the defending champs 104-97 Sunday.
Lin also recorded a career-high 14 assists.
With the name Jeremy Lin on everyone's lips, NY1's "Sports On 1" is expanding its Knicks coverage. On home game nights, "Sports On 1" will tack on an extra half-hour, staying on the air from 11:35 p.m. to 1 a.m., for extended highlights and lengthy post-game reaction.

"He lit it up. I've never been to a game like this. Like the place electrified. Everyone was going nuts around me," said one Knicks fan.
"It hurts a little bit that he killed the Mavericks. You have to give him his props," said a Mavericks fan.
The win helped the Knicks bounce back from Friday night's tough loss to the Hornets, which snapped their seven-game winning streak.
The Knicks host the Nets tonight with tip-off set for 7:30 p.m.
As the Knicks celebrate their return to the win column, ESPN has fired the employee responsible for posting the headline "Chink in the Armor" in reference to Lin's nine turnovers Friday night.
The network says it conducted a thorough investigation into the slur that ran briefly on its mobile website.
It says the employee has been terminated, and an ESPN News anchor who used the same phrase has been suspended for 30 days.
After Sunday's game, Lin said he's ready to move on.
"I don't think it was on purpose or whatever. At the same time they've apologized - and so, for my end I don't care anymore. I have to learn to forgive. And I don't even think that was intentional - or hopefully not," said Lin.
In a statement, the network said, "We again apologize, especially to Mr. Lin. His accomplishments are a source of great pride to the Asian-American community, including the Asian-American employees at ESPN."
