MINNEAPOLIS -- Kristaps Porzingis and Karl-Anthony Towns are building a tantalizing rivalry for the NBAs new age.Carmelo Anthony let the kids have their fun until it was time to go home.Porzingis had 29 points and eight rebounds and Towns had 47 points and 18 boards, but Anthony hit the winning jumper with 2.3 seconds left, lifting the New York Knicks to a 106-104 win over the Minnesota Timberwolves on Wednesday night.I mean the skys the limit for those two guys in this league, said Antony, who had just 12 points on 4-for-15 shooting before splashing the winner over Andrew Wiggins outstretched hand. With Towns, the way hes playing, Kristaps getting better and better each day, theyll be around for a long time and, you know, theyll be the face of this league in a couple years.The 21-year-old Towns is the third-youngest player in the last three decades to have at least 45 points and 15 rebounds in a game.The Wolves used a 20-3 run to tie it at 102 with under a minute to play, but Porzingis threw Gorgui Dieng aside for a putback slam and Anthony tipped the inbounds pass on Minnesotas final possession to thwart the comeback.I think it was a good show for everybody, Porzingis said. But the most important is we got the win.Brandon Jennings scored 12 points off the bench and Porzingis had a big block against his friend and draft classmate Towns to help the Knicks weather the loss of Joakim Noah, who sat out with a sprained left ankle. New York made 13 3-pointers to Minnesotas four.After the Timberwolves lost to Utah on Monday, a despondent Towns vowed to do more to help his team win. He came out a man on fire, scoring 22 points on 8-for-8 shooting and grabbing seven rebounds in the first quarter.Im so proud of all of my teammates, said Towns, whose Wolves fell to 5-13. The fight that we have every time were down to comeback and find a way to put ourselves back in a game is the reason why I think so many find the potential in us to be great.TIP-INSKnicks: SG Courtney Lee only played eight minutes because of a sprained left ankle. ... Coach Jeff Hornacek said F Lance Thomas, who has not played yet because of a sore left ankle, had a good workout during shootaround and will practice on Friday in the hopes of playing in the next game or two.Timberwolves: Wiggins had 19 points, seven rebounds and four assists. ... Towns 22 points in the first quarter were two off of Chauncey Billups franchise record of 24. ... G/F Brandon Rush was inactive with a sore big toe that has bothered him for much of the season.SLAM SWATTEDThe two young stars rarely guarded each other, but Towns did go at Porzingis late in the second quarter, rising up to try to dunk on him only to have the Latvian emphatically stuff him for Towns first missed shot in 11 attempts.He tried, Porzingis said. He was being super aggressive. He was driving to the basket, shooting from the outside, playing in the post. He was doing everything. He was playing an overall game, and it was really hard to stop him.FOND MEMORIESThe Bulls made the playoffs all five seasons with coach Tom Thibodeau leading Derrick Rose and Noah. Rose and Noah were two players Thibodeau, now with Minnesota, deeply respected for their competitive drive and determination.You dont realize what you have with him until hes not around, Noah said. He used to tell me that when I played for him because we used to butt heads all the time. Hes definitely one of the tops in the business.FAMILIAR FACESTwo Knicks assistants have Minnesota ties, with Kurt Rambis a former head coach and Jerry Sichting spending a total of 13 years in two separate stints as an assistant.Its still special, Sichting said. I still know a lot of people in the organization and around town. I dont miss the winters around here, but I always enjoy coming back.UP NEXTThe two teams meet again in two days, this time in Manhattan on Friday night for a game in which Thibodeau will return to the arena he called home for seven seasons as a Knicks assistant.

Bryant, who signed a five-year, $34 million contract as a free agent with Cleveland in March, reported symptoms on Monday morning, a team spokesman said. RENTON, Wash. -- For the first time, Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll suggested Wednesday that tight end Jimmy Graham could miss games at the start of the regular season.Graham is trying to return from a patellar tendon injury he suffered last November. He began training camp on the physically unable to perform list but returned to practice last week.Weve had no issues at all in the work hes doing on the field, Carroll said. That will continue to increase throughout the next few weeks.Really were shooting for: Where is he at the start of the season? And well evaluate then on how much longer it may take, or he may be ready. We dont know that yet. But he feels good.Graham has been limited and is not yet participating in team drills.Theres some evaluation to be done going into next week, but I dont have any expectations for that right now. Well just wait and see, Carroll said.We dont have a timetable for this that he has to meet any schedule at all. Were just working him back, and hes gaining confidence, and its really important not to have any setbacks. So were being careful.With tthree really big weeks coming up here, well see how he goes.dddddddddddd Well be continuing to progress him more with the action around him and stuff. Hes doing fine running routes and catching balls, and he looks good doing all that stuff.Graham has talked to other players who have rehabbed from the same injury, including Jon Stinchcomb and Victor Cruz, and they advised him that rushing back can lead to other issues.So for now, the plan remains to take it slow.Running back Thomas Rawls (ankle), meanwhile, continues to push forward and could play in the Seahawks third preseason game next week.Thomas got some really good reps in practice, Carroll said. Hell have a really solid week next week if all goes well. Well see about what that means in terms of playing. Were not going to rush that at all. But he looked good, and that was great to see.Rawls has been participating in a portion of team drills at practice and remains on track to start the opener in Week 1.
