LOS ANGELES -- Carmelo Anthony was thrilled when several Knicks took turns hitting big shots while they held off the Lakers. He can see New York embracing the teamwork and syncopated speed necessary to run coach Jeff Hornaceks offense effectively.The Lakers had a similar rhythm going, and now theyve lost it.Kristaps Porzingis had 26 points and 12 rebounds, Derrick Rose scored 25 in his return from injury and the Knicks beat Los Angeles 118-112 Sunday night for their sixth win in seven games.Brandon Jennings scored 15 of his season high-tying 19 points in the fourth quarter as the Knicks moved a season-best four games over .500 (14-10) with a dynamic effort in the final minutes, capped by Roses jumper with 19.4 seconds left.As you can see, different guys stepped up at different times, said Anthony, who had 13 points on 4-of-16 shooting and hit a key late jumper. Were just trusting one another and believing in what were doing, in our schemes, defensively and offensively. Guys are feeling confident when they get the ball to make plays for themselves and others. We need that as a team. We need that confidence.Porzingis has been feeling discomfort in his right knee, but the Latvian big man shook it off for another impressive effort that included seven blocked shots, tying his career high. His defense didnt prevent the Lakers from putting up a 37-point fourth quarter, but the Knicks scored enough to hang on.The Lakers had a narrow lead in the fourth quarter before Jennings went off, hitting back-to-back 3-pointers and threading a slick pass to Courtney Lee for a three-point play to put the Knicks up 97-89 with 6:46 left.Its just trust, Jennings said. I just try to bring as much energy to it as I can.Lou Williams scored 24 points in his latest big game off the bench for the sliding Lakers, who lost their sixth straight despite the return of DAngelo Russell and Nick Young.Luol Deng set season highs with five 3-pointers and 22 points, but Los Angeles (10-16) hasnt won in December.FRESH ROSERose went 12 for 16 after missing two games with a back injury, capping the effort with that cool 10-footer after the Lakers got within four. The Knicks have won four straight on the road after a 1-6 start away from Madison Square Garden.Ive been trying to catch a rhythm for like a minute, Rose said. Its slowly coming.NO DThe Lakers solid offense cant overcome a defense that was the NBAs fourth-worst before allowing 118 points to the Knicks.Its embarrassing, and its embarrassing because we have too many good defenders and athletic guys on this team to be this bad on the defensive end, forward Julius Randle said. We can be a lot better, and we will be a lot better. Its just frustrating right now.THEYRE BACKRussell and Young returned to boost the Lakers, who had been without their usual starting backcourt since late November. Russell had missed 12 of the Lakers last 13 games with soreness in his left knee, while Young missed seven of the past nine with a strained calf.Russell had three points on 1-of-8 shooting in 18 minutes, with Lakers coach Luke Walton strictly limiting his playing time. Young was right back to his usual swaggering self, scoring 12 points in the first half and finishing with 15 in 20 similarly restricted minutes.Both expect to play Monday in Sacramento.I felt good, Russell said. Definitely out of rhythm, but it was cool.TIP-INSKnicks: They made their second stop on a five-game road trip that began with a narrow win at Sacramento. ...

MANHATTAN, Kan. -- Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy long ago embraced the modern era of fast-paced offenses, the kind that prefer to go no-huddle, keep defenses off balance and rip off more than 80 plays per game.In fact, those offenses are so pervasive that preparing to face them is the status quo.And that makes getting ready for Kansas State a unique challenge.When the No. 22 Cowboys visit the Wildcats on Saturday for a game crucial to their Big 12 title hopes, they will have to deal with a plodding, lurching offense that bleeds just about every second off the clock on every play it runs, leading to immense frustration for opposing coaches.Youre not going to have as many possessions, Gundy said, just based on the fact that the number of times they snap the ball with two seconds or less is four times the number of most teams in this league.Indeed, the Cowboys (6-2, 4-1) are averaging 79.7 plays per game this season, putting them behind only Baylor and Texas Tech in the Big 12 and firmly in the top 20 of the 128 teams in major college football.Kansas State (5-3, 3-2) runs 72.7 per game, ranking 80th nationally.When they go down methodically, score and eat up five or six minutes on the drive, thats an element that makes them a good, efficient offense, Oklahoma State defensive coordinator Glenn Spencer said. Its frustrating on you when you cant get the ball back and your offense is sitting on the sideline.One of the ways Kansas State dominates time of possession is with its running backs.Charles Jones has gotten the bulk of the carries, but Justin Silmon, Dalvin Warmack and Alex Barnes have been featured prominently in the offense. Then there is quarterback Jesse Ertz, their leading rusher, who has embraced the way Heisman Trophy finalist Collin Klein bulldozed through defenses a few years ago.They are all good, young guys and can do what you want them to do, Kansas State coach Bill Snyder said. Its about developing a hot hand, so to speak. Sometimes when somebody gets on fire, then they tend to perform higher than hat the expectation might be.On the flip side, Cowboys quarterback Mason Rudolph always seems to have a hot hand.The trigger for their fast-paced offense, Rudolph already has thrown for 2,5322 yards and 17 touchdowns this season.dddddddddddd And against Kansas State a year ago, he threw for 437 yards and three TDs while rallying the Cowboys to a last-minute field goal and a 36-34 victory .The game has slowed down for him, Snyder said, and when that happens, the innate capability that he has comes to the forefront. He has the ability to make good decisions and the poise to go through his reads and progressions and be an accurate thrower.As two vastly different offenses prepare to meet Saturday, here are some things to watch:BIG 12 HOPES: The Cowboys still have to play Oklahoma, the only unbeaten in league play, so winning at Kansas State is crucial to their conference title hopes. They have won four straight after knocking off then-unbeaten West Virginia last Saturday in Stillwater.NO HANGOVER: Oklahoma State insists it did not dwell on the win over the Mountaineers, a good thing considering the home team has won the last five matchups with Kansas State.Right after the game, we watched we needed to watch, Cowboys linebacker Chad Whitener said, then we moved right on to Kansas State. Thats our whole focus all week.BACK TO NORMAL: Kansas State had its streak of 56 straight red-zone scoring trips snapped against Texas, but bounced back to go 5-for-5 in its win over Iowa State last Saturday. The Wildcats have converted 62 of 63 trips into points dating to last season.COACHING MILESTONES: Gundy won his 100th game against the Mountaineers. Snyder needs two wins to reach 200 -- despite missing four seasons due to a brief retirement.MORE ON ERTZ: The Kansas State quarterback ran for a career-best 106 yards against the Cyclones. Ertz also threw for 151 yards and a touchdown in the 31-26 victory , showing the kind of moxie that Snyder and the Wildcats have expected to see from him since his season-ending injury in the opener a year ago.You can really see how much hes grown, Kansas State tight end Dayton Valentine said. Its exciting to come out every week and see him be able to settle in, take control of the offense.---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org ' ' '
