Carmelo Anthony scored 25 points and had 7 rebounds but missed all 7 of his 3-point attempts as the New York Knicks lost their home opener 112-101 to the Atlanta Hawks. While the Knicks shot a paltry 40% from the field and 20% from deep, Hawks shot an efficient 50 and 42 respectively and looked more like the 60-win team that we saw a year ago. “That just shows they’re behind us and be able to help us win games”.

It was the third win in four games for Chicago.
Too bad most of the one-percenters, headlined by James Dolan and featuring the likes of Jimmy Fallon and Ben Stiller, were still hanging out in a luxury suite beneath Madison Square Garden at the start of the third quarter and missed one of the few highlights of the Knicks home opener. “And I’m still working on being even more agile with size, and quicker so I can jump higher”. Just like they’re not as good as they looked against the Bucks. It’s more than likely somewhere in between. “We have time to keep working, and we will learn from it”.
The Knicks found themselves down early. He said playing without Korver was “an opportunity to push that further”. He’s still playing as if it’s all up to him, and only him. I tried to study. I was watching the games twice. It’s nothing mechanical. Nothing.
League backs officials • An National Basketball Association evaluation of the officiating in Wednesday night’s Orlando Magic-Washington Wizards game concluded that a key instant-replay ruling was correct and that all of the referees’ calls and noncalls during the game’s final two minutes also were correct. “Just finding that rhythm again”. Nic Batum finished with 16 points, 5 rebounds, and 7 assists while Al Jefferson had a double-double with 10 points and 10 rebounds.
Walker led the Hornets (0-3) with 17 points.
“The fans didn’t really know me, they didn’t know my game”, said Porzingis.
Charlotte played a relatively great game throughout.
The loss only means that Hawks have a lot of reasons to come out better against the Knicks.
“We played better tonight”, coach Mike Budenholzer said. “That’s the mentality that we have to get out of in this organization”.
However, this is definitely one of the first times that we’ll see a team mix two of their current uniform elements together. Millsap finished with 16 points, six rebound and six assists.

“Personally I felt like I was rushing on offense”, said Lopez. That was a minor surprise; Bazemore scored a total of five points in the first two games of the season and lacks the three-point resume of Carroll and others who play the position. Or maybe they could discover an unpolished gem much in the same manner they molded Carroll from a role player into a free agent who cashed in to the tune of $16 million a season in Toronto.
