New York, NY (Sports Network) - Jeremy Lin had the ball in the air before Landry Fields even made his move.
Taking off from outside the paint, Fields caught the pass two-handed near the right baseline and finished off a thunderous alley-oop dunk.
The play, coming near the end of a highlight-filled first half at Madison Square Garden on Wednesday night, showed that Linsanity is still evolving after days of drooling punditry and seven blink-and-you'll-miss games.
It is, in its most recent form, a democracy.
Lin set a career-high in assists for the second straight day, handing out nine of his 13 helpers in the first half as the New York Knicks built a big lead on the way to a 100-85 win over the Sacramento Kings.
The Knicks have won seven games in a row for the first time since last season, all with big contributions from the former benchwarmer and new starting point guard.
Wednesday's runaway win came one night after Lin, with a then-career high 11 assists, kept the ball himself and buried a game-winning three-pointer with 0.5 seconds left in Toronto.
He only played three quarters in this one, scoring 10 points and sitting the entire fourth in a lopsided win. Landry Fields led New York with 15 points.
