Al Harrington logged 23 points and nine rebounds off the bench, while David Lee added 12 points and 16 boards. Tracy McGrady scored 15 in the win. "Thats what it takes to be a good team in this league, it takes consistency, and it takes competing as well," McGrady said. "If you play like that every night youre going to rack up wins in this league." Carmelo Anthony scored 36 to lead the Nuggets, who have lost two in a row after winning eight of nine. Chauncey Billups ended with 25 points and six assists in defeat. Denver fell into a tie with Dallas for the No. 2 seed in the Western Conference. "This game meant so much to us," Billups said. "Were over there fighting in the Western Conference in a dogfight, on a brutal road trip. Other than it being one game and beating a good team this game doesnt mean that much to the Knicks." J.R. Smith hit a three-pointer, drawing Denver within 105-104 with 1:21 remaining, but the Nuggets failed to go ahead following a steal by Nene as Harrington lost the ball on the right baseline. Anthony missed an off-balance shot in the lane, and following a New York timeout, Douglas nailed a shot from the right wing for a three-point advantage with 27.8 on the clock. Anthony couldnt capitalize on a drive to the hoop and Gallinari made two foul shots with 18.1 seconds left to help New York snap a four-game skid against the Nuggets. It was an awful start for the Knicks, who gave up the first 12 points of the game, but they managed to cut the deficit to 27-26 after one quarter. Harringtons layup with 6:50 left in the second provided the Knicks with a 37-31 edge, but Denver gained a 53-49 halftime lead thanks to Arron Afflalos three-pointer at the end of the second quarter. It was a back-and-forth third quarter, but the Knicks scored the final 11 of the period, helped by a pair of three-balls from Gallinari and one from Harrington for an 83-74 margin for the hosts moving to the fourth.

Any " expert" who claims that the Cards are surefire Super Bowl losers is giving (stupid) opinions just to be controversial and have something to say.A person familiar with the negotiations says Johnny Damon has completed his physical with the Detroit Tigers, clearing the way for the team to finalize a one-year contract with the outfielder. The person spoke Sunday to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the deal hadnt been announced. Another person familiar with the situation said Saturday night that the Tigers and Damon agreed on an US$8-million, one-year deal, subject to a physical. The 36-year-old Damon would bring another left-handed bat to the Tigers lineup besides switch-hitter Carlos Guillen.

Guillen, who batted .242. with 11 homers and 41 RBI in 81 games last season, was told he would be in the lineup every day. Tigers general manager Dave Dombrowski said Damon wasnt in the teams plans as late as January. But Damon came into the picture after the Tigers dealt leadoff hitter Curtis Granderson to the Yankees, then allowed Placido Polanco to walk away via free agency. "We needed to make some adjustments," Dombrowski said. "We arent doing it only for this year, but we also needed to move forward. The moves we made earlier in the year allowed us to make some adjustments, not only for now but also for the future. We also brought in some young talent." Damon has also been courted by the Chicago White Sox and Atlanta Braves since leaving the world champpion New York Yankees as a free agent. Suh Jersey.

Usually it doesnt go on this long. I wish Johnny luck. Johnny was good for us here. We all miss Johnny. This is the hard part of the game when those relationships change a little bit. Ill root for Johnny except when hes playing against us." NOTES: LHP Bobby Seay is expected to be out for at least three days with shoulder bursitis, Tigers trainer Kevin Rand said.
