Jeremy Lin guided the Knicks to their 7th straight win Wednesday night, dishing out a career high 13 assists to beat the 10-18 Sacramento Kings. It didn’t matter that he scored only 10 points because the Knicks built a big lead (18 points at halftime, 22 after the 3rd quarter) and had 7 players who scored in double figures.

Being the unselfish player he is, Lin doesn’t care. Here’s what he said after only scoring 10 points on 4-of-6 shooting:

“As a point guard, my field goal attempts have been really high and I don’t think that’s necessarily good. I think it’s more of my job to distribute and get people in rhythm.”

This statement shows how intelligent and team-oriented Lin is.

The Knicks should be able to make it 8 in a row when they play the New Orleans Hornets at Madison Square Garden on Friday night, with Carmelo Anthony expected to return from injury for that game. Then the Knicks finally face some decent competition when they play the Dallas Mavericks on Sunday. But that game will be at home as well, and will be televised nationally on ABC at 1:00pm Eastern.
