high 27 points and a career-high 11 assists as the New York Knicks extended their win streak by rallying in the fourth quarter to beat Toronto 90-87 Tuesday. Lin scored the game-winning three pointer with 0.5 seconds left in the fourth for the Knicks who have won six consecutive games. Lin also surpassed Shaquille O'Neal's league record for the most points in his first five games as a starter. Lin has 136 points over that span, compared to O'Neal who scored 129. “I just wanted to make sure I got a good shot at the end of the clock,” Lin said. “We had so many active hands. Everybody with deflections, rebounds and we clamped it down.” Lin got off to a slow start Tuesday but picked it up in the second half. “The coverage was little different today, something I hadn't seen,” he said. “I just tried to stay aggressive.” New York's Amare Stoudemire had 21 points and nine rebounds in his first game back after missing four consecutive following the death of his brother. The point guard Lin has carried the Knicks on his back during the win streak. He had a career-best 38 points against the Los Angeles Lakers and followed it up with a 20-point performance in a 100-98 win over the Minnesota Timberwolves. Jose Calderon scored 25 points, nine assists, and seven rebounds for the Raptors, who beat the Knicks earlier in the year and have won 11 of their last 15 at home in this series. Heat 105, Pacers 90: LeBron James scored 23 points and nearly produced his first triple double in 11 months and Dwyane Wade had 16 points, leading the Miami Heat to a rout of the Indiana Pacers to become the first team in 33 years to win three straight on the road in three days. Miami is also the first club in 42 years to win each of the three by double digits. Phoenix was the last to win three in a row on the road in consecutive days, from Dec. 21-23, 1979. Milwaukee was the last team to win all three by at least 10 from Nov. 20-22, 1970. Plus, at 23-7, Miami has now tied the franchise's best start. Things went so well Tuesday, that at halftime, James turned to the crowd and acted like he was reeling in a fish and during a third-quarter timeout. Mike Miller grabbed something resembling a rope from the team trainer and acted like he was going to rope a steer. It was just that easy. Playing their fourth road game in five nights, some thought the Heat might show sign of fatigue. No way. Instead, the Heat looked crisp, relaxed and ready to send a message to the rest of the league — that they can dominate every possible way. In other games it was: San Antonio 99, Detriot 95; Chicago 121, Sacremento 115; Memphis 93, Houston 83; Oklahoma City 111, Utah 85; Denver 109, Phoenix 92; Washington 124, Portland 109; LA Lakers 86, Atlanta 78.
