Anthony, Knicks thump Thunder; extend streak to 12 games
Oklahoma City, OK – Carmelo Anthony fell short of the 40- point plateau, but the Knicks managed to win their 12th straight game, and accomplished the feat against one of the best teams in the Western Conference.
Anthony scored 36, as the Knicks beat the Oklahoma City Thunder, 125-120, Sunday afternoon.
Anthony, who scored 40-plus points in each of the previous three games, shot 15-of-29 from the field and had 12 rebounds, nine of them offensive.
J.R. Smith hit a pair of big shots during an 11-2 run late in the final quarter. He had 22 points for the Knicks, who secured their first 50-win season since 1999-2000. Their magic number to clinch the Atlantic Division title is one.
The Knicks, who also broke a five-game road losing streak versus the Thunder, received 16 points and eight assists from Raymond Felton. Tyson Chandler scored 15, Jason Kidd 14 and Chris Copeland 13.
Russell Westbrook scored 37, pulled down 11 rebounds and had eight assists for the Thunder, who had a three-game winning streak broken. Kevin Durant, who came into the game essentially neck-and-neck with Anthony for the league's scoring lead, had 27 points and seven assists.
The result put the Thunder a game behind San Antonio for the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference.
Westbrook's layup put the Thunder on top, 111-110 with four minutes remaining, but Smith canned a pair of shot clock-beating shots to lift New York.
Chandler converted a layup at the other end and then blocked a Westbrook jumper. Anthony's tip-in created a 3-point margin.
After Westbrook hit a pull-up shot, Smith just beat the shot clock for a 117-113 difference with 1 1/2 minutes left. Following a Westbrook missed 3- pointer, Smith made the Thunder pay again. Felton lost the ball in the lane, but batted it back to Smith, who drained a 3-ball with 56.8 seconds left for the game-sealing 120-113 margin.
"He makes plays like that. He makes tough shots. Sometimes I think he likes to take the tougher shot than the easier shot. They still go in," said Anthony.
The Knicks haven't lost since March 17 at the LA Clippers. Their current win streak is third-longest in team history and most since a 15-game run in the 1993-94 season.
Oklahoma City made 11 of its 17 shots in the opening quarter to take a 31-30 edge after 12 minutes. The Knicks turned it around in the second with a 13- of-22 effort for a 65-56 advantage at halftime. Anthony and Copeland each scored 11 in the period.
Chandler's alley-oop jam off a feed from Smith created a 12-point lead inside of a minute left in the half.
OKC was as close as one in the third, but the Knicks widened the gap in the latter stages and were up 96-89 going to the fourth.
"We're good. We've got five more games to go," said Durant. "We lost a tough one. This team, they shot the ball well tonight. They hit some tough shots all night."
Game Notes
Durant has scored 20-plus points in each of the last 15 games for an OKC team that is 33-6 as the host. ... Kevin Martin had 15 points, while Serge Ibaka and Reggie Jackson each had 13 for the Thunder, who shot 57.7 percent ... The Knicks were 15-of-34 from 3-point range.

KABUL, Afghanistan, Aug. 20 (UPI) -- Fighting between insurgents and Afghan security forces left 18 Taliban fighters and two police officers dead in Ghanzi province Tuesday, a local official said.
Zana Khan District Gov. Ahmad Zia Yaqubi said dozens of armed rebels stormed the Zana Khan district headquarters "in the wee hours of Tuesday" with the objective of capturing it, China's state-run news agency Xinhua reported.
"However, the police resisted with the support of army, killing 18 rebels and forcing the Taliban to flee," Yaqubi said.
Two other police officers were injured in the fighting, Yaqubi said.

A bill that would ban Islamic law and other foreign laws from being applied in state courts has died on the last day of Florida's legislative session.
Senate President Don Gaetz on Friday declared the bill (HB 351) "resolved" after its sponsor decided not to ask for the unanimous vote required to move the bill forward.
It had failed a previous procedural vote on Thursday. The House approved the legislation on a 79-39 vote last month.
Sen. Alan Hays sponsored the bill. The Umatilla Republican said he wanted to protect Floridians from foreign law being used against them in state courts.
But there are no reported cases in which a Florida court applied foreign law. That led critics to deride it as a solution to a "phantom menace.

Ann Arbor-based Tectum Holdings Inc. expands its truck bed liner offerings Tuesday with the acquisition of bed liner and tonneau cover manufacturer Laurmark Enterprises Inc.Terms of the deal were not disclosed. San Fernando, Calif.-based Laurmark, dba BAK Industries, is the seventh acquisition under the THI platform, which is controlled by New York private equity firm Kinderhook Industries LLC. Bill Reminder, CEO of THI, said in a news release that BAK's hard-folding BAKflip tonneau cover and online marketing expertise sparked THI's interest in the acquisition. Tonneau covers are used to protect the cargo bed in a pickup truck. "BAK has been extremely instrumental in the innovation and growth of the hard-folding tonneau category, THI's COO Kelly Kneifl said in a news release. THI declined to discuss revenue for either company but said the total headcount is now 1,100 employees. THI's other truck accessory businesses include: Ann Arbor-based Extang Corp.; Yankton, S.D.-based Truxedo Inc.; Rogersville, Mo.-based UnderCover Inc.; Ann Arbor-based Advantage Truck Accessories Inc.; Grand Forks, N.D.-based Retrax Holdings LLC; and Old Hickory, Tenn.-based BedRug Inc. New York-based Madison Capital Funding LLC provided financing for the deal. Kirkland & Ellis served as legal counsel for THI and Michelman & Robinson LLP served as legal counsel for BAK.

It's an award that any NFL player would be proud of, but none would choose to endure.
Comeback player of the year.
The field is especially crowded this season, with an inordinate number of standout players returning from season-ending injuries, the type of infirmities that in another era would have terminated a career.
There's Peyton Manning, of course, the Denver Broncos quarterback who sat out his final season with the Indianapolis Colts and underwent four neck procedures. Five of the last six players to receive the award were quarterbacks — Chad Pennington (twice), Tom Brady, Michael Vick and Matthew Stafford.
But just as impressive is the unbelievably quick return of Minnesota running back Adrian Peterson, who, in a game last Christmas Eve, suffered torn anterior cruciate and medial collateral ligaments in his knee. Eleven months later, he leads the NFL with 1,236 yards rushing — 172 more than second-place Arian Foster of Houston.

Government database administrators go through a lot of trouble planning and creating databases to suit their agencies' needs. Getting them to store the required collection of information in a logical manner while still giving users access in a way that makes sense to them is a nearly impossible task. When you add to those requirements the necessity of accessing the database from mobile devices, that nearly impossible scenario can become a nightmare.FileMaker Go 12 will connect any device running iOS to your FileMaker database. From there a user can make any changes for which they are authorized, so long as their iPad or iPhone can connect to the Internet.Once we got a FileMaker database installed on our test server, we then set out to get a copy of Go installed on an iPad. The installation was about as easy as any software we've had in the lab. We just went to the Apple App Store and it downloaded and installed with just one click. Once we connected to the database, all of the tables, forms and so forth that we had created on the desktop computer were available for our perusal.
FileMaker Go 12Performance: A-Ease of Use: A-Features: A-Value: A+Price: FreePros: Free app, live database updates.Cons: Only usable on iPad and iPhone.
Reviewer's Choice
One thing that impressed us was the real-time aspect of any changes to the database information or structure. When we created a new record remotely, that record instantly showed up in queries. Conversely, if we made a design change on a query, form or report, the change would get pushed down to all devices running Go immediately. The responsiveness in the speed of updates pretty much eliminates version control concerns, as every instance is always looking at the current version.Of course, designing forms and reports on an iPhone might have its own special challenges. That is probably why the Apple folks suggest that the actual design be done directly on the desktop or server, and the devices running FileMaker Go be used mostly for data entry and minor changes. But we did discover that the extent of changes possible through our mobile device was rather extensive, so we were able to make any changes we thought might be necessary from a remote location.The only shortcoming we could find with FileMaker Go 12 was the fact that it's only available for the iOS platform. The main Filemaker editions can be installed on both Windows and Apple computers, so we didn't understand why a Windows Mobile version of Go wasn't available.Apple has made Filemaker Go 12 available for free in the App Store. Of course, while you can't beat free, it's worth pointing out that in order to get Go to work, you need to have an installation of some version of FileMaker. These do come at varying price levels, so you should be able to find the version that's the best fit for your situation.We could see this product being used by survey crews to update site information remotely, or even large inventory management applications. A federal database implementation at nearly any level might be able to take advantage of the remote use possibilities that Filemaker Go opens up too, which opens it up for a lot of government users, and earns it our Reviewer's Choice designation.FileMaker, www.filemaker.com

Not that strange. They want people to upgrade/purchase FM12, and free FM Go 12 is one incentive.
Strange that although Filemaker Go 12 is free, Filemaker Go 11 still costs $19.99.
"so we didn't understand why a Windows Mobile version of Go wasn't available."
Really? With a market share <2% why would anyone produce software for a windows phone?

Two mechanical engineers, a quality control specialist, an attorney and a dentist make up the team behind Tuscaloosa's newest brewing company.
Two mechanical engineers, a quality control specialist, an attorney and a dentist make up the team behind Tuscaloosa's newest brewing company.
The team of five home brewers has been working for nearly a year to convert an old barbershop into what will become Black Warrior Brewing Co.'s home in downtown Tuscaloosa.
Michael Musgrove, a local attorney and co-owner, said a realistic estimation of their opening date would be the start of the 2013 home football season. In the months before September, Black Warrior Brewing has to finish renovating its building and get all the necessary licenses from the city, state and federal government required to become a brewery.
"Getting all of the licenses and the CO (certificate of occupancy) kind of co-mingle with each other. It's a lengthy process," Musgrove said. "Not everyone can say 'I'm going to open a brewery' and it happen in a month. I would say, at the very least, it's a six-month process even if you have the building and all the equipment."
The building and equipment are two things Jason Spikes and Joe Fuller, who called themselves co-instigators of the project, didn't have when they decided to open the brewery in May 2012. Spikes said they knew, however, that if they didn't take their opportunity, someone else would.
"It's really hard to make it in the brewing industry, but then Alabama changed the laws to allow microbreweries to have tasting rooms, and that's the only way you can make it work with paying the bills," Spikes said. "We're friends with Druid City Brewing, and about the same time they decided to start one, we decided to start one. It just took us longer to find the perfect spot."
The owners said it was important for them to open up their brewery downtown because of the excitement and electricity in the area.
"Most cities that have undergone a rebirth now all have a brewery downtown," Wayne said Yarbrough, a Montgomery dentist and co-owner. "We felt like Tuscaloosa wouldn't be complete without having a downtown brewery."
Black Warrior Brewing has 12 recipes planned for its menu, but the owners said they will open their tap room with between six to eight based on feedback they've gotten from tasters. They will also distribute kegs of beer to be on tap at local Tuscaloosa bars and restaurants.
The two beers they plan to distribute are an apricot wheat beer, which Spikes said is similar to Magic Hat 9, and a brown ale that all five agreed was difficult to compare to a well-known brand.
"I've never had anything like it," Fuller said. "It's a brown ale that's very close to a porter. I don't know how else to describe it. It's an American brown ale, but 'hoppier' than most ales."
From the beer recipes to the design of the building to creating their brewing system, Musgrove said they've used architects, plumbers and contractors when they were required to by law, but the five have put at least 4,000 man hours into the brewery and building. Since November 2012, when they leased the property, 50,000 pounds of demolition have been taken from the building as they have redesigned and renovated the space.
"We're going to take a lot of pride in our brewery, a lot of pride in our brewing, because of how many hours we've spent on it," he said.
Spikes said online forums estimate that it costs a million dollars to open a brewery, but, because the five have done so much work on their own, they've come in "substantially under that."
Spikes and Eric Hull, another co-owner, have mechanical engineering backgrounds, which Musgrove said has saved the team thousands of dollars.
"A lot of times people say, 'Don't go into business with multiple partners,' but all of us bring a different skill set so that we were able to do this at a much lower, cheaper price because we were able to bring all of our skills together," Musgrove said. "The innovation that has come out of this is phenomenal to me. It's just absolutely mind-blowing the ideas that we've been able to come up with."
The brewery, which is two stories and will feature a tap room and event space, will be located at 2216 University Blvd.

The coalition has delivered on its election promise to axe the mining tax but in the process is denying average workers about $100,000 in superannuation.
Just days out from the government's first anniversary, a deal was struck with the Palmer United Party to deliver the votes necessary to pass the repeal through the Senate.
"We promised to get rid of it and we've delivered," Treasurer Joe Hockey said of the deal, which will cost the budget $6.5 billion over the next four years.
The reduction in budget savings will be recovered in the medium term by pausing the superannuation guarantee rate at 9.5 per cent until July 1, 2021.
After this, the superannuation guarantee rate will increase 0.5 per cent each year until it reaches 12 per cent from July 1, 2025.
Industry Super Australia called it a short-sighted deal which would cost a 25-year-old average income earner around $100,000 over their working life.
Under the deal with PUP, the government has agreed to extend the low-income super contribution until June 30, 2017 and the income-support bonus until December 31, 2016.
The schoolkids bonus will also stay in place until December 31, 2016, but will be means tested so that only families earning up to $100,000 will qualify.
Mr Hockey said given that increases in the superannuation guarantee were largely funded from cuts in take-home wages or business profits, the changes would put more money in employees' pockets and help business.
PUP leader Clive Palmer said the economy would be boosted by the mining tax's abolition.
"(The MRRT has) done a lot of damage to Australia and hasn't raised any money," Mr Palmer said.
Opposition Leader Bill Shorten, who unsuccessfully attempted to censure the prime minister in parliament, said the coalition had promised at the election to make no adverse changes to superannuation.
"We have seen today ... the disgraceful, destructive and dishonest attack to freeze superannuation," Mr Shorten said.
Mr Abbott had set a "new land speed record for a duplicitous government" and put the interests of 10 mining companies ahead of nine million Australians, Mr Shorten said.
The repeal bill was supported by the three PUP senators, Australian Motoring Enthusiast Party's Ricky Muir, Family First's Bob Day and the Liberal Democrats' David Leyonhjelm.
Senator Leyonhjelm said it would take the budget back in the right direction.
Business Council chief Jennifer Westacott said it was disappointing the government had been unable to abolish some of the mining tax spending measures.
She said it underlined the need for wider tax reform rather than ad hoc measures.

I enjoy the series, "Top 10 Right Now," the network is running. While I don't agree with all the rankings, a lot of them are accurate.
I happened to turn on the TV on my day off to find the Top 10 shortstops. I tuned in at No. 4, which was Jose Reyes. I thought he was ranked a bit high but wasn't too up in arms about it.
I was wondering where the Dodgers' Rafael Furcal had placed. When the show recapped numbers 10 through two, Furcal was absent. Guys like Starlin Castro (whom I actually like) and Marcos Scutaro ranked ahead of Furcal.
Let's break this down.
Furcal's Wins Above Replacement (player), a cumulative statistic, mark in 2010 was 4.1. That was good for fourth-best in baseball. Oh yeah: he did it in 97 games!
Shortstop WAR in 2010Now, WAR isn't the be-all, end-all, but it it's a rather significant statistic. By the looks of it, MLB Network got it really wrong in this case.

The show even had a "Just Missed" list that didn't feature Furcal.
I know he isn't the most durable guy, but Furcal is valuable and definitely a Top 10 shortstop right now.
Keith Law recently ranked the 30 farm systems in baseball. The Dodgers checked in at No. 22. He also released his Top 100, which featured three Dodgers: Dee Gordon (70), Zach Lee (91) and Rubby De La Rosa (94). They ranked No. 2, 4 and 5, respectively, on my Dodgers' Top 30 list.
Gordon also checked in on MLB.com's Top 50 list, as ranked by Jonathan Mayo, at No. 44.
