BOSTON -- The New York Knicks are winning no matter who they play. Somehow, beating Boston feels special. "Lets just be quite frank about them," Carmelo Anthony said after the Knicks cruised to a 100-85 win over the Celtics on Tuesday night. "We always want to beat Boston. New York in anything wants to beat Boston and when we do its a great feeling." J.R. Smith came off the bench to score 32 points, Anthony added 29 and the Knicks extended their winning streak to five games while handing the Celtics their fifth straight loss. The win moved the Knicks into second place in the Eastern Conference, percentage points ahead of the Indiana Pacers. The Celtics, who could face the Knicks in the first round of the playoffs, remained in seventh and dropped to 0-2 at home against New York despite being 24-9 there against the rest of the NBA. "Its tough for a lot of teams to come here and win (but) were playing for something," Knicks coach Mike Woodson said. "Theyre playing for something, too, and theyre a little beat up, like we are. And I just thought tonight our defence set the tone early and it was a nice flow for 48 minutes." Neither team led by more than four points in the early going and the score was tied 35-35 early in the second quarter. The Knicks then scored the next 14, led 58-44 at halftime and stayed comfortably ahead the rest of the way, leading by as many as 17 points. The Celtics, playing their second straight game without Kevin Garnett, were led by Jeff Green with 19 points and Paul Pierce with 16. But they committed 20 turnovers, while the Knicks, who average the fewest turnovers in the NBA, had just eight. "Weve got to get back to playing with more energy, forcing a lot of turnovers like we were three or four weeks ago," Pierce said, "turning the ball over less if were going to give ourselves a chance." Garnett is expected to miss about two weeks with inflammation in his left ankle. Starting guard Courtney Lee also sat out his second game in a row with a sprained left ankle. Starters Rajon Rondo and Jared Sullinger already are sidelined for the season. "Kevins not playing. I dont worry about it," Celtics coach Doc Rivers said. "Overall, we were pretty bad tonight. Kevin had nothing to do with that." Smith disagrees, especially after driving to the hoop for several baskets. "It feels like they didnt have any shot blockers," he said. "So (I) take it to the basket, draw fouls, find some teammates that get open and play from there." The Knicks were without two key big men. Tyson Chandler has a bulging disk and missed his seventh consecutive game, while Amare Stoudemire was sidelined for the 10th game following knee surgery that is expected to keep him out four more weeks. Steve Novak began New Yorks 14-0 surge with a 3-pointer, Anthony hit a 19-foot jumper and Smith followed with a tip-in. Anthony then converted an alley-oop from Pablo Prigioni before Prigioni made a reverse layup and Novak ended the run with another 3. Brandon Bass layup with 7:47 left in the second quarter had tied it at 35, but the Celtics didnt score again until Jordan Crawford made a pair of free throws with 3:53 left in the half. Boston went without a field goal until Greens layup with 3:27 remaining made it 49-37. The Celtics cut the lead to 69-62 on a layup by Pierce with 5:21 left in the third quarter, but the Knicks scored the next nine points to open a 78-62 lead. Anthony began the spurt with two free throws, Jason Kidd scored his first points of the game on a 3-pointer, Kenyon Martin dunked on a follow-up and Anthony hit two more free throws. "We credit everything we do to our defence," Smith said. "When we get out and run, no one can really run with us." Neither team shot well, with Boston making 44.9 per cent of its attempts and New York hitting 43.3 per cent. But the Knicks had 15 offensive rebounds, six by Anthony, compared to seven by the Celtics, and took 21 more shots. "No one played well," Rivers said. "They just had a lot of extra shots to miss and they made a couple of them." The Knicks led 84-69 entering the fourth quarter and took their biggest lead, 91-74, on a 3-pointer by Novak. "We allowed them to get easy layups," Green said. "We allowed them to get a good rhythm and thats when they started knocking down threes and it put us on our heels." And that led to another win in Boston for New York. "A great road win for us, especially in this arena," Anthony said. "Knowing how hostile it can get here and knowing how well they play here at home in front of their fans, it just says a lot about our team."

Following a shock 3-0 home defeat to rival West Ham, the London club claimed its fifth league win of the season to move to fifth in the standings, three points behind leader Arsenal. "The opening goal was important to bring confidence and we really played well in the second half," Spurs manager Andre Villas-Boas said.IRVING, Texas - With his arms crossed, ball cap on — forward — and an electronic stimulation device working to heal his broken rib, Tony Romo could only watch as the other Dallas Cowboys quarterbacks threw warm-up passes at the start of practice Thursday. Still, just being on the field was an indication Romo could start Monday night against the Redskins. Romo wore a jersey and shorts and moved gingerly. When everyone stretched, he was slow to join them, then didnt do anything that required bending or moving his arms. At the start of team drills, he stood with the backups, watching with his arms clasped behind his back. Jon Kitna worked with the first team and would start if Romo cant. "I fully expect him to play," Kitna said. Coach Jason Garrett repeatedly referred to Romos status as day-to-day, with constant monitoring of his progress. He called it a good sign that Romo was on the field Thursday and said the quarterback doesnt necessarily have to practice to be cleared for the game, but would like to see him get in some work. "Were going to get a feel for how he is feeling going into the game and then well make some decisions," Garrett said. "Its still very early in the week. ... Its a little too early in the week to get into all those hypothetical situations." Coaches and teammates said Romo was moving around better than theyd expected. Many of them pointed to the fact he was able to return to Sundays game with the rib injury — and with a torn lung that had yet to be diagnosed. As scary as that sounds, it was a small enough tear that he should be fully recovered long before kickoff. "He has been upbeat, he has been positive, he has been going through it like a regular work week," tight end Jason Witten said. "He is very active in meetings and doing what needs to do to get back out there." This was Dallas first practice since Romo overcame the broken rib and a tear in his lung to pull out a comeback victory in overtime against San Francisco on Sunday. Hes been praised for his toughness and leadership just a week aafter being scorned for bad plays and poor decisions that led to a loss in the opener, and he also earned the NFC offensive player of the week award.dddddddddddd "The legend has began," linebacker Bradie James said. "Punctured spleen, kidney, whatever it is, hes going to be out there." The Cowboys came out of the 49ers game with so many injuries to key players that Garrett gave the entire squad an extra day off Wednesday. They could afford it because they have an extra day before the next game, which also is at home. The status of many other key players remains in flux. Six others didnt practice, including running back Felix Jones (shoulder) and receivers Dez Bryant (thigh) and Miles Austin (hamstring). Austin aggravated an injury that had him limping much of last week. He managed to score a career-best three touchdowns despite his pain, but now is likely to miss the next two games, plus have the bye to get healthy. Bryant was a game-time decision. The fact hes still not on the field seems like something else could be wrong, but Garrett said thats not the case." "The degree of the injury is really the issue," Garrett said. "It really swelled up on him soon after (the opener). He didnt have very much flexibility at all, all throughout last week. We were all hopeful and optimistic but its just been a progression. I think its gotten better as the days have gone by." The offensive line remains a carousel, too. Starters Phil Costa and Derrick Dockery were out with knee injuries. Dockery moved into the lineup last week because Bill Nagy (knee) was hurt, but Nagy was back Thursday. A patched-together line isnt exactly the best way to protect Romo, should he come back, but the Cowboys will have no choice. There was some good news: cornerback Terence Newman (groin) practised for the first time since early August. "Its great to have a Pro Bowl corner, a mainstay like Terence, an experienced guy who knows how to get prepared and can go out and challenge a teams top receiver," safety Abe Elam said.
