Carmelo Anthony?returned to the New York Knicks lineup Saturday against Denver after missing Thursdays game because of soreness in his shoulder. Derrick Rose, however, sat out because of lingering discomfort from back spasms. He has missed four of the Knicks past six games because of the ailment.Brandon Jennings?started at point guard in place of Rose on Saturday.?The Nuggets beat the Knicks 127-114.Knicks coach Jeff Hornacek admitted the absence of Rose seemed to make a difference.It sure looked like it, he said. Brandon has the ability to drive in there, too, but Derricks finishes really draw guys into the lane and then where Derrick will kick out; Brandon will dribble out, draw it to somebody, but I dont think other teams are as concerned with Brandon finishing at the basket as Derrick.Anthony scored 29 points on 10-of-14 shooting from the field?against his former team but remained winless in five trips to Denver since he was traded to New York in 2011.Anthony injured his shoulder in the first quarter of the Knicks win over the Los Angeles Lakers last Sunday. He struggled with his shot that night and again in the Knicks next game, an overtime loss against the Phoenix Suns, going a combined 7-for-31 from the field.Anthony told reporters the shoulder issue was impacting his shot but that he feels healthy after the extended rest. He decided to rest the injury Thursday against the Golden State Warriors, missing his first game of the season. The Knicks are 0-11?in games Anthony has missed over the past two seasons.It is unclear when the Knicks will have Rose back. The 28-year-old point guard has missed four of the Knicks past six games, and portions of two others, because of the back spasms. An MRI determined there is no structural issue with Roses back.It is stiff, he tries to get it loose and then it feels like it might turn into a spasm, so he doesnt want to really jar it or turn hard on it, Hornacek said.The Knicks have taken a cautious approach with Rose, who has a history of serious injuries, though not related to his back.Rose played in just 39 percent of games in the previous four seasons because of various injuries, including three significant knee ailments. Hed played in every game in his first season with the Knicks before suffering back spasms in New Yorks win over Miami last Tuesday.The Associated Press contributed to this report.

LONDON -- The Washington Redskins and Cincinnati Bengals played to a 27-27 draw Sunday in London as the NFL got its second tied game in a season for the first time since 1997.The sold-out crowd of 84,488 at Wembley Stadium left deflated and even puzzled as the regulation-time shootout between Kirk Cousins and Andy Dalton turned into an overtime comedy of errors.It definitely feels more like a loss than a win, because we moved the ball so well and had so many opportunities to win, Cousins said.Washington (4-3-1) appeared to have the game won with 2:13 left in overtime, but Dustin Hopkins hooked his 34-yard field goal attempt wide left.Hopkins, whose first overtime attempt sailed smoothly through the uprights but was negated by a last-second Bengals timeout, appeared calm and unruffled in the locker room.It was slick out there, but that didnt have an effect on any of my kicks, said Hopkins, who also was badly short on a 55-yard attempt at the end of the first half.The Redskins got the ball back with 1:11 remaining when Dalton fumbled at the Bengals 47 on a quarterback sneak. Cousins couldnt connect downfield and tossed his final desperate pass tamely into the sideline to preserve the draw. Cincinnati is 3-4-1.The unlikely result came one week after the Seattle Seahawks and Arizona Cardinals tied 6-6 .Obviously not winning the game is disappointing, Bengals coach Marvin Lewis said. We had opportunities on both sides of the ball to win it.Cousins finished with 38 completions for a season-high 458 yards on a team-record 56 attempts, with touchdowns to Jordan Reed and Jamison Crowder. He also threw an inconsequential interception on a deep ball.Dalton completed 27 of 42 for 284 yards and a touchdown to Tyler Eifert, who saw his first significant game action following offseason back surgery. Eifert made nine catches for 102 yards, while A.J. Green generated 121 yards on nine catches. Dalton also tossed a costly interception early in the fourth quarter with the Bengals driving deep into Washington territory.THE 1997 TIES: Oddly, the last time the NFL had two ties in a season also happened in back-to-back weeks. In Weeks 12 and 13 of the 1997 season, Baltimore and Philadelphia tied 10-10, followed seven days later by Washington and the New York Giants 7-7 draw.QQUICK START: At first, it looked as if both teams might have forgotten to pack their defenses.ddddddddddddWashington took its opening possession 80 yards on a 15-play drive capped by Robert Kelleys juking 4-yard run. It was the first NFL rushing touchdown for Kelley, an undrafted rookie from Tulane starting in place of an injured Matt Jones.Cincinnati immediately responded with a 66-yard kickoff return by Alex Erickson up the right sideline. Giovani Bernard took a draw 8 yards to the end zone to tie the score 7-7 with about four minutes still left in the opening quarter.KICKING WOES: It wasnt only Hopkins ruing his errors. The Bengals Mike Nugent had a chance to tie at 10, but his low-trajectory 51-yarder spun wide left. Nugent has often struggled from long range throughout his 12-year career. He has yet to convert a field goal beyond 47 yards this year, and fell to 0-for-3 from 50 yards or more.Nugent then missed his first extra point of the season, wide left following the Bengals go-ahead drive of the second half.We missed a PAT, we missed a field goal, and those things eventually came back to hurt us, Lewis said.WATCH THOSE HANDS: Redskins star cornerback Josh Norman was called four times for illegal use of hands. Its a shame for Washington that those hands werent as sticky to the ball.Norman dropped two great interception opportunities while jumping routes on short sideline throws to A.J. Green. The first hit him squarely in both hands on the Bengals 39 near the end of the first half, the second was in Redskins territory during the Bengals opening drive of the second half. A pick then would have stopped the Bengals from seizing the lead barely a minute later.SEEING YELLOW: The game was marred by penalties, particularly by the Redskins. Washington was flagged 15 times for 106 yards, leading to eight Bengals first downs and damaging Washingtons overtime drives into Bengals turf. Cincinnati had seven penalties for 85 yards.UP NEXT: Both teams have byes.(Fixes Gordon to Norman in WATCH THOSE HANDS.)---Associated Press reporter Zac Boyer contributed to this story.---AP NFL websites: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
