NEW YORK -- This time, Carmelo Anthony didnt have to hit the game-winning shot, but he did need help from his teammates.Anthony scored 29 points, Derrick Rose had 24 and Kyle OQuinn added season highs of 20 points and 13 rebounds as the New York Knicks defeated the Minnesota Timberwolves 118-114 on Friday night.After hitting the game-winner in the Knicks two-point win over the Timberwolves on Wednesday, Anthony saw OQuinn and Rose carry a heavy load down the stretch.You dont want to have to do that every night, Anthony said. Derrick did a good job of getting the ball in his hands and making plays and creating. Tonight was his night to make shots.After the Knicks fell behind for the first time in the game, 102-101, on Zach LaVines dunk with 6:33 remaining, OQuinn got the lead back with consecutive baskets, and after Minnesota got within one, Rose scored the next five points to give New York a 110-104 lead.Andrew Wiggins converted a layup with 2:11 left, but Anthony answered with a dunk off of a full court pass from OQuinn to make the score 112-106.Quinn was starting in place of the injured Joakim Noah.Obviously, I have a chip on my shoulder.

They eventually grabbed the lead, but it was short-lived.Weve got to change our mindset, said Timberwolves coach Tom Thibodeau. I thought the start of the game really hurt us. I thought our bench came in and gave a good lift. They did it again in the second half, but then we made a lot of mistakes down the stretch.The Knicks jumped out to a 24-8 lead to start the game. The Timberwolves were able to pull within nine after the first quarter, 30-21, and got as close as four, 34-30, on Nemanja Bjelicas 3-pointer with 9:06 left in the second quarter.New York took a 62-52 lead at halftime and led by as many as 14, 80-66, before settling for the 10-point lead after three.Justin Holiday finished with 13 points for the Knicks and Kristaps Porzingis had 11.LaVine scored 24 points and Karl-Anthony Towns had 20 for the Timberwolves.Wiggins scored 19 points, Bjelica finished with 17, Shabazz Muhammad had 14, and Cole Aldrich posted a double-double with 10 points and 12 rebounds.TIP-INS:Timberwolves: Minnesota has faced the Knicks in each its last two games, the only time they will play the same team in consecutive games all season.

The United States, attempting to become the first womens soccer team to win FIFA Womens World Cup and Olympic titles in back-to-back years, announced its roster of 18 players for the Rio Games on Tuesday.The U.S. womens national team will chase that history with a familiar cast, made all the more familiar by Megan Rapinoes rapid return from a major knee injury. But it will also do so in Brazil with four players who were not part of the World Cup effort and a noticeably younger roster than that which enjoyed success a year ago.The U.S. opens Olympic group play against New Zealand on Aug. 3 in Belo Horizonte, Brazil.The Olympic roster includes 10 of 11 players who started last years World Cup final against Japan. One is midfielder and co-captain Carli Lloyd, who in 2015 won both the Golden Ball as the World Cups outstanding player and FIFA Player of the Year. She also scored the goals that clinched gold medals in both the 2008 and 2012 Olympics.Lloyd played 45 minutes as a substitute for the United States in a win this past weekend against South Africa, her first time on the field since spraining her right knee in a National Womens Soccer League game in April.The roster includes midfielder Tobin Heath, forward Alex Morgan, defender and co-captain Becky Sauerbrunn and goalkeeper Hope Solo. Along with Lloyd and Rapinoe, each of those six players have appeared more than 100 matches for the United States.It also notably includes Rapinoe, whose status was one of the biggest question marks leading up to the announcement.

Although she debuted for the national team in January, the youngest to do so in more than a decade, she leads the team with seven assists this year.Among those not available were Abby Wambach and Lauren Holiday, both of whom retired after the World Cup, and forwards Sydney Leroux and Amy Rodriguez, out with pregnancies.Rosters in Olympic competition are limited to 18 players, five fewer players than teams were allowed to include in last years World Cup.The United States is in Group G in the 12-team Olympic tournament, along with Colombia, world No. 3 France and New Zealand.
