SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- Carmelo Anthony does not want to see the positive vibes surrounding the New York Knicks disappear because of one bad night against the defending champions.The memories about too many bad nights in the past turning into several consecutive ones remain too fresh for the 14-year veteran, now in his sixth full season with the Knicks.Weve got to put this behind us, he told reporters in video shown on Knicks.com after New York braced for a five-game road trip with a 126-94 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers on Wednesday. We just want to chalk it up as a bad night, put it behind us, and get ready for this road trip.The road trip comes just as the Knicks are winning for the first time in years. New York opens its longest sojourn of the season when they face the Sacramento Kings on Friday night at the Golden 1 Center. The trip is entirely against Western Conference teams, against whom New York has won six of nine, one of them a 106-98 home victory against Sacramento on Sunday.In that one, Anthony and guard Derrick Rose scored 20 points and Brandon Jennings 19 for the Knicks, part of a 9-4 stretch that has propelled them to their best 22-game start (12-10) since the 2012-13 campaign. In this one, theyll try to put away the stench of a game they never were in after a 20-4 Cleveland run put the Knicks behind 34-17 in the first quarterWell learn from this, Anthony said. We dont want to let this linger around when we have the opportunity to go on the road and do something good.New York faces only one team with a winning mark on the trip. The Golden State Warriors (19-3) are two-time defending Western Conference champions, but the other four opponents entered Thursday with a combined mark of 32-57. New York has played only one other road game against the Western Conference, a 106-104 victory at Minnesota on Nov. 30.Rose didnt play against the Cavaliers because of back spasms, but the New York Daily News reported that an MRI exam did not reveal any serious injury. Rose played in New Yorks first 21 games, averaging 16.7 points and 4.8 assists in 32 minutes per contest.The Kings (8-13) could use a boost, period, after a very uneven first quarter of the season. Back-to-back victories could provide it, and the Kings are coming off a 120-89 blowout of the Dallas Mavericks that finished off a 2/3 road trip that included a cancellation of a scheduled game in Philadelphia.Sacramento has strung together consecutive victories only twice this season.Were competitive, first-year Kings coach Dave Joerger told the Sacramento Bee. The spirits good, the chemistry is good, different guys have been in and weve had a chance to look at different guys in the rotation, and well continued to do that going forward.Center DeMarcus Cousins averaged 32.2 points and 13.2 rebounds during the trip, He is averaging 28.8 and 10.6 for the season, ranking third and 10th in the NBA through Wednesdays games.

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. -- John Daly birdied the final five holes Friday in the Toshiba Classic, leaving him three strokes behind fellow senior newcomer Billy Mayfair and 62-year-old Jay Haas.Making his 14th PGA Tour Champions start since turning 50 in April, the long-hitting Daly finished with a 4-under 67 at Newport Beach Country Club after playing the front nine in even par and dropping a stroke on 13.This course, you short-side yourself you can make some big numbers, but its a golf course that if I keep hitting the driver straight, you can score, Daly said. A lot of wedges into a lot of the holes.The two-time major champion has three top-20 finishes on the senior tour, the best a tie for 11th in July in New York at the Dicks Sporting Goods Open.Ive been hitting it pretty good and just the two weeks off did me some good, Daly said. My shoulders still not good, but Im able to hit full shots. Im struggling with three-quarter shots, which might not make sense, but every time I try to pinch one, it hurts like heck. But the full shots are OK and luckily thats what I had coming down the stretch today.Haas made an 18-foot birdie putt on 18 to match Mayfair at 64.Ive always played this course well, said Haas, the 2007 winner. I lost the next year in a playoff to Bernhard (Langer), and then the next two years, probably playing as good as I could play in my Champions Tour career. ... Ive had some good success here and I just like the golf course. It seems to set up nicely for me and looks good to my eye.Mayfair eagled the par-5 third and had six birdies -- four on the last fiive holes -- and one bogey.dddddddddddd Hes making his sixth start on the tour after turning 50 in August.Youve got to get out on Friday and get off to a good start, said Mayfair, a five-time winner on the PGA Tour. Youre going to have to shoot this every day to have a chance to win.In his Champions debut, he tied for second behind Gene Sauers in the U.S. Senior Open.I really want to come out here and have fun and enjoy myself but be very competitive, Mayfair said.Larry Mize, Paul Goydos and Michael Allen shot 65. Mize played the back-nine in 5-under 31.Ive been trying too hard, Mize said. I tried to just relax and have fun. As crazy as it sounds, care a little less and just go out there and dont let anything bother you and just have a good time.Goydos birdied four of the first five holes.The golf course is there to be had, but if you hit in the wrong place here, youre going to make bogeys, Goydos said. Today, I probably should have made three bogeys and I made none.Ross Cochran shot 66, and defending champion Duffy Waldorf was at 67 along with Daly, Mark Calcavecchia, Ian Woosnam, Joey Sindelar, Mark Brooks, Jay Don Blake, John Cook, Fred Funk, Billy Andrade, Jerry Smith, Doug Garwood and brothers Bart and Brad Bryant.Colin Montgomerie had a 68. Hes coming off a victory two weeks ago in British Columbia.Langer, the tour leader with four victories, is taking the week off. He also tops the money list and Charles Schwab Cup points standings.
