Carmelo Anthony says ‘no more Knicks talk’ after OKC debut

The Hindu  

As the ’90s band Semisonic once said in the bar classic “Closing Time”: Every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end. That’s how Carmelo Anthony felt Thursday night after playing his first game with Thunder, a 105-84 win over Knicks. Anthony scored 22 points on 8-of-20 shooting, while fellow new addition Paul George scored 28 and reigning league MVP Russell Westbrook dropped 21. The early going this season for OKC looks relatively easy with no marquee Western Conference games until a Nov. 17 match-up with Spurs in San Antonio.
