"Jeremy Lin may have saved coach Mike D'Antoni's job for now and the future. And sore-backed Baron Davis may no longer need to be considered team savior.

At long last, the Knicks may have found their point guard after a storybook and perhaps momentous night at the giddy Garden. Maybe the 9-15 Knicks didn't need a new coach. They needed a new point guard.

With the delirious crowd chanting "Jeremy'' across the second half, the new Garden folk hero came off the bench and provided an electrifying career-high 25-point, seven-assist performance. Lin single-handedly willed the reeling Knicks to a 99-92 victory over the Nets at the Garden. It was as sensational as it was stunning."
