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. I wanna have more for myself, OQuinn said. I just put it out there all I can.Rose made two free throws with 31 seconds left for a 114-106 lead and the Timberwolves got no closer than four the rest of the way.I was taking what they were giving. It was all about rhythm, said Rose, who finished 9-for-15 from the field.Minnesota trailed 98-88 after three quarters, but went on a 12-2 run to start the fourth, aided by five Knick turnovers in the first four minutes. 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.

INDIANAPOLIS -- Indianapolis Colts defensive coordinator Ted Monachino can already sense the pressure building outside the locker room.Fans are weary of seeing the same old problems from a defense that has been unable to stop the run, chase down quarterbacks or get off the field consistently.So Monachino has changed things up. His solution is to be more aggressive and creative with play calls -- a philosophy that could give the Colts a whole new look.We have to manufacture some pass rush by bringing them from different areas, Monachino said Wednesday. We cant just line up and say our four are better than your five and we will get home. Weve got to create some looks and some things that confuse protections and break down some of the organization of the offense.Its about time.For four seasons, coach Chuck Pagano has preached about the need to build a championship defense, and general manager Ryan Grigson went all in on finding help in free agency.The problem was, it didnt work, largely because the Colts have struggled to find a second consistent pass-rushing threat opposite Robert Mathis.While the 2013 NFL sacks champion remains one of the leagues most feared pass-rushers and at age 35 has shown no indication of slowing down, the Colts still need someone else who can put pressure on opposing quarterbacks.The numbers tell the tale.Despite missing the 2014 season with a league-imposed suspension and a torn Achilles tendon, Mathis 34+ sacks remain a team high and account for 23 percent of the Colts total from 2012-15. None of Mathis teammates recorded more than 12 sacks during that same span.So they brought in Monachino to find a solution.Were going to play aggressively and if we handle the run, well put ourselves in position to pin our ears back and rush the quarterback, inside linebacker DQwell Jackson said. We have guys like Rob, whose proven he can get after it, and its up to the linebackers as well.Just dont make any judgments based on what the Colts do Saturday night against Philadelphia.While Pagano said earlier this week that hes likely to play the healthy starters into the third quarter, Monachino will be dealing with a young, makeshift lineup.Mathis is expected to sit out his third straight preseason game.Indys starting cornerbaccks, Vontae Davis (ankle) and Patrick Robinson (groin) and backups Jalil Brown (knee) and DJoun Smith (ankle) have already been ruled out.dddddddddddd The injury-filled secondary is so depleted Pagano even joked about moving safeties Mike Adams and T.J. Green outside.Defensive tackle Henry Anderson was activated from the physically unable to perform list this week and cornerback Antonio Cromartie, who signed Monday, are not expected to play.With so many guys out, where will the pass rush come from?Indy is hoping this years draft picks -- Green, defensive tackle Hassan Ridgeway, inside linebacker Antonio Morrison and outside linebacker Trevor Bates -- will take advantage of their opportunity to prove they are part of the solution.Even if the Colts are playing it close to the vest.Its hard to say right now because its only the preseason and we cant show you or tell you everything weve got, Adams said. But you got to have a plan and well have something for everybody.Monachino isnt dropping many hints. But the key to improving, he believes, has more to do with putting players in position to get after the quarterback rather than relying on one or two.I think we have just the men for the job in the front end and in the back end, he said. Am I completely satisfied with where we are? Absolutely not, just because we are still giving up yards that we shouldnt. Am I pleased with the group of guys and their work and attention to detail? Absolutely.Game notes Pagano opened Thursdays news conference by offering support to the victims of Wednesdays tornadoes in Indiana. A group of players was scheduled to visit the American Red Cross shelter in Kokomo on Thursday afternoon. ... Pagano said Thursday right tackle Joe Reitz is questionable with a sore back. If he cant play, Pagano said the Colts would plug third-round pick LeRaven Clark into the starting lineup. ... Safety Dezmen Southward missed Thursdays practice because he was ill. ... Pagano also hopes this weeks game will help sort out the running back depth chart behind Frank Gore.---Online:AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
