Thanks for following my live blog everyone. Jeremy Lin was spectacular again in another thrilling Knicks win, this time over the defending champion Mavericks.

What's Next?

The Knicks will play the New Jersey Nets on Monday night at 7:30 p.m. ET at Madison Square Garden.

The Mavericks will travel north to Boston to play the Celtics Monday night at 8:00 p.m. ET. 

If you don't believe in Jeremy Lin yet, you have to right now. He was spectacular today in the Knicks win over the Mavericks. 

He saw a different defense than what he's used to this afternoon, but he was able to read and react so well to remain effective. This is why his stardom is real. He's a real talent that is only going to get better.

His composure is remarkable as well, and the pressure of the moment doesn't bother him. That's impressive for a young player in New York City.

Jeremy Lin helps the Knicks defeat the defending champions with a tremendous performance.
