OAKLAND, Calif. -- Itll be Olympic reunion night at Oracle Arena on Thursday when the New York Knicks Carmelo Anthony and three of his teammates from the 2016 gold-medal winner, all members of the Golden State Warriors, get together for the first time since Rio.The evening will tip off before the tip-off with Warriors stars Kevin Durant, Draymond Green and Klay Thompson getting Olympic championship rings in a ceremony featuring Warriors executive board member Jerry West, a former gold medalist himself, and USA Basketball Mens National Team Director Sean Ford.Durant, who signed with the Warriors only about a month before leaving for Rio, led the Americans with a 19.4 scoring average in their eight straight wins.Durant totaled 155 points in Rio, the second-most ever for an American behind his own 156 in the 2012 London Games, bringing his Olympic career total to 311.Only one American has a higher career total, and, fittingly, he will be on hand to witness the ceremony Thursday. Anthony is the all-time Olympic scoring leader among Americans with 336.Anthony has been anything but Olympic-caliber in the first three games of the Knicks five-stop trip. Hes shot just 16-for-53 from the field and 3-for-16 on 3s, although 24 free throws has helped him compile a respectable 19.7 scoring average.The Knicks won two of the three games -- at Sacramento and Los Angeles (Lakers) -- before suffering a 113-111 overtime loss at Phoenix on Tuesday.New York had won four straight on the road and six of seven overall before the loss to the Suns. They didnt have point guard Derrick Rose for the second half at Phoenix after his ailing back, which forced him to sit out two games last week, flared up on him again.Rose is questionable for Thursdays game.Leading the way of late for the Knicks has been Kristaps Porzingis, who recorded double-doubles in the two trip-opening wins, equaled his career high with seven blocks against the Lakers, and was one off his career best in scoring with 34 points against the Suns.The second-year pro came on strong late in the Phoenix game after having gotten thrown to the flr by Suns rkie Marquese Chriss in a third-quarter altercation.He needed it, Anthony told reporters after the game of Porzingis wake-up call. Sometimes people try to take advantage of his kindness, and I thought it was getting a little bit t much out there for him, and he reacted. We had his back.Porzingis might expect more of the same Thursday night from the Warriors enforcer, Green. He is coming off a dramatic confrontation with New Orleans star Anthony Davis in the final seconds of Tuesdays 113-109 road win.With the Warriors clinging to a two-point lead, Green stripped the ball from Davis as he attempted what could have been a game-tying shot.Hes one-on-one against anybody, Ill take Draymond any day, Warriors coach Steve Kerr gushed to reporters after the win. Hes a nasty defender.A bit t nasty, the NBA observed Wednesday. The league admitted Green should have been called for a foul on the game-saving play, claiming he illegally had two hands on Davis back before making his clean swipe.

PETERSBURG, Fla. DeSean Jackson Jersey . -- The Bishops Gaiters are showing they belong among the countrys top varsity ftball teams. DES MOINES, Iowa -- ?? Iowa States Naz Mitrou-Long broke out of a season-long slump with the best game of his career.The Cyclones needed nearly all of his 37 points to hold off and eventually overwhelm woeful Drake.Mitrou-Long shattered his career high and Iowa State held off Drake 97-80 on Saturday night, its seventh win in its last nine tries against in-state opponents.Monte Morris had 20 points for the Cyclones (7-3), who finished with a 21-4 run to put away a game that was much tighter than most expected.We worked on offense all week. But then I thought we regressed on defense. T many easy baskets, t many paint touches. If we get them all put together, I think weve got a chance, Iowa State coach Steve Prohm said.Mitrou-Long drilled a 3 to make it 85-78 with 3:25 left, and his corner 3 two minutes later allowed the Cyclone-heavy crowd to finally exhale.Mitrou-Long, who shot just 39 percent in Iowa States first nine games, was 14 of 18 from the flr and 8 of 12 on 3s. He also had six rebounds, five assists and just one turnover.Coach (Prohm) said Youve just got to trust the process, Mitrou-Long said. Some days Im going to make shots, some days Im not. We put in enough work to where we just got to keep believing it.Billy Wampler scored 23 points for Drake (1-9), which remains winless against Division 1 opposition. But the Bulldogs were within a possession of the Cyclones for much of the second half.BIG PICTUREIowa State: Deonte Burton (13.7 points, 7.7 rebounds a game entering play) remains a vital but wildly inconsistent player. Burton missed all seven of his first-half shots, and most of them were makeable. If the Cyclones are going to compete in the Big 12, Burton -- who finished with seven points and 10 rebounds -- will have to be more reliable. Iowa State wwas lucky that Mitrou-Long was there to bail it out.ddddddddddddDrake: The Bulldogs have had such a rough season that simply putting forth a gd effort in a showcase game like this was enough. Drake played like a team desperate to redeem itself after coach Ray Giacoletti resigned two weeks ago.THE KEY MOMENTDrake was still within five with 3:23 left when Mitrou-Long hit a 3. Morris followed with a pair of free throws and a 3-point play, and Mitrou-Longs final 3 finished off the Bulldogs. The Cyclones allowed just one bucket in the final 39.STAR POWERMitrou-Longs previous high for points in a game was 26, which he did twice. He also beat Oklahoma State twice with back-breaking 3s. But the senior who missed much of last season with hip injuries finally played a complete game -- and put a team on the verge of falling apart on his shoulders until it could figure out how to start playing like its capable of.BULLDOG DETERMINATIONIf Drake can play with the fire and determination it displayed against Iowa State in the Missouri Valley, it might keep itself out of the league basement. The Bulldogs have rallied around interim coach Jeff Rutter, who is two games into a season-long audition for a permanent position. We made a lot of really gd plays and gd reads. It just got away, Rutter said. For 35 minutes, we went toe-to-toe.UP NEXTIowa State hosts Mississippi Valley State on Tuesday in its final Big 12 tune up. Anything less than a blowout win likely wont be enough for a fan base that has seen the Cyclones win just two of their last five games.Drake hosts South Dakota State on Monday.---More college basketball at www.collegebasketball.ap.org ' ' '
