Jeremy Lin led the New York Knicks to another win Sunday against the Dallas Mavericks at Madison Square Garden.
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.

The Knicks' new superstar scored 28 points and had 14 assists en route to the 104-97 victory.
Teammate Steve Novak dropped four three-point shots in the fourth quarter to secure the win.
The victory put the Knicks back on the winning track two days after the last-place New Orleans Hornets ended their seven-game winning streak on Friday.
Fans who spoke with NY1 near the Garden said Lin's magic reached another level.
"It was crazy, it was insane. He lit it up, I have never been to a game like this, where the place, like, electrified. People were going nuts around me," said a Knicks fan.
"It hurts a little bit, that he killed the Mavericks, but you have to give him props," said a Mavericks fan.
Meanwhile, earlier Sunday, ESPN announced that it fired an employee who was responsible for an offensive headline about Lin.
The offensive headline on ESPN's website
The network says a mobile website headline reading "Chink In The Armor" that topped an article about Lin's nine turnovers during Friday's game was removed 35 minutes after it was posted.
An ESPN News anchor was also suspended for 30 days for a racially insensitive comment, according to network officials.
ESPN says it has also learned about another offensive reference on ESPN Radio New York Friday but says the radio commentator is not a company employee.
Kevin Ota, the director of communications in digital media for ESPN, posted a message Sunday that reads, "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."
Members of the Harvard Asian-American Alumni Alliance who attended a Sunday Knicks viewing party in Midtown said while the headline was insensitive, ESPN handled the situation appropriately.
"People make really unfortunate statements or display unfortunate images in multiple circumstances, and I think what this speaks to is how unique Jeremy is and the degree to which the sports establishment doesn't know really how to process him yet," said Jeff Yang of the Harvard Asian-American Alumni Alliance.
The Knicks next take on the New Jersey Nets at 7:30 p.m. Monday.
