Bayern Trupp » Carlyle said of Rielly

Philadelphia, PA (SportsNetwork.com) - Carmelo Anthonys 27 points and 11 rebounds propelled the New York Knicks to their first winning streak in over two months by virtue of Wednesdays 98-91 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers. Jose Calderon contributed 15 points and Tim Hardaway Jr. finished with 13 in New Yorks second consecutive triumph. The Knicks ended a franchise-record 16- game skid with Mondays 99-92 decision over New Orleans. Its only the second time this season the Knicks, who entered this matchup between the Eastern Conferences bottom two teams with a league-worst 6-36 record, have won back-to-back games. The other time came from Oct. 30-Nov. 2 in the clubs second and third outings of the season. For the players it feels great, Knicks head coach Derek Fisher said of the consecutive wins. Sometimes you need some positive feedback. The Sixers received 27 points, seven assists and five steals from Michael Carter-Williams, but shot just 36.7 percent from the field in their third consecutive loss. Robert Covington added 17 points for Philadelphia and Henry Sims posted 11 points and 12 rebounds in defeat. The Knicks never trailed after taking the lead late in the second quarter and were able to create some distance near the end of an otherwise tightly contested first half. A 9-2 run capped by Amare Stoudemires putback slam 9.8 seconds prior to the intermission staked New York to a 49-42 advantage before Carter Williams sunk a last-second shot to bring Philadelphia within seven at the break. Anthony, playing in his third straight game after missing six in a row to rest then buried consecutive 3-pointers to begin a third quarter in which the Knicks maintained a double-digit differential much of the way. New York was up by at least eight throughout the period and carried a 74-62 lead into the fourth. The Sixers did make a push during the final frame, with Carter-Williams tallying the final seven points of a 9-2 surge that trimmed the margin to 78-75 with seven minutes to go. A Covington triple with 1:40 remaining had Philadelphia within 91-87. The teams then hit two free throws on their next possessions before Knicks rookie Langston Galloway delivered the dagger, collecting an offensive rebound and draining a corner 3-pointer with the shot clock winding down that put New York up 96-89 with 15.3 seconds showing. Give him credit, Sixers head coach Brett Brown said of Galloway, a product of nearby Saint Josephs University. Local kid comes home, hits a fadeaway in the corner, you give him credit. After both teams struggled to score during an opening quarter that ended in an 18-18 tie, the Knicks began the second on a 9-2 run before the Sixers countered with an 11-2 push to claim a 31-29 edge just over five minutes into the stanza.

Kadri was electric in his first NHL training camp in the fall of 2009, a flashy performer who wowed with an array of theatrics on the ice. Though he was quickly returned to juniors with the London Knights when camp concluded, Kadri would, over the course of the next two seasons and even beyond, live in the spotlight associated with a super-touted top-10 pick in the city of Toronto. Due to play in his first NHL game on Saturday, 19-year-old Morgan Rielly now finds himself occupying similar skates. Reflecting back on an experience that was not without its share of drama and outside noise, Kadri offers the following words of wisdom. "Just worry about the team and yourself and what you have to do," he counseled Rielly in conversation with the Leaf Report on Friday afternoon. "I think thats when you start steering yourself sideways when you start listening to what everyone else has to say outside the rink, what everyone else expects of you, what this person thinks youre going to do. Thats really just distractions he doesnt need right now." Just as it was with Kadri, the debate has been ongoing internally as to whats best for Rielly at this moment and over the long-term for his development, a season in the NHL or a trip back to junior in Moose Jaw. When training camp concluded last month, Leafs coach Randy Carlyle theorized that to say Rielly was "unequivocally" ready to play in the NHL "is a tough question to ask and a tougher question to answer at this point". In trying to further that assessment, he and the Leafs opted to keep their promising defender when the regular season began earlier this week, the prospect of a 9-game audition on the table in October. Then under the leadership of the Brian Burke and Ron Wilson, Kadri didnt garner such a look, the flaws in his dazzling game too difficult to ignore. Outside noise in the city was rampant in the days, months and years that followed, a chorus of voices debating how the club was handling the progression of his development. Even Kadri seemed to infer last winter that he was held back by Wilson, who was replaced by Carlyle in March of 2012. "It was tough for me because I did everything I could and thought I put myself in a pretty good position in order to help the team that year," Kadri said of his first training camp, during which he dazzled with three goals and five points in six games.. "Obviously I had a few flaws defensively, but I thought my offensive production might be able to outweigh that and maybe the coaching staff could see through that. "They decided to send me down andd it wasnt a bad thing," he reflected.dddddddddddd"I went back and developed pretty well and standing here a couple years later Im glad it happened." The patient approach – which saw him bounce between the Leafs and Marlies – was eventually rewarded. The now 22-year-old centre was a standout for the better part of 2013, ending the year with 44 points in 48 games. Jake Gardiner was a different case, but also suitably hyped when he was pried from Anaheim in the Joffrey Lupul-Francois Beauchemin swap. He arrived at training camp in the fall of 2011 as a long-shot to crack the Leafs roster, but wowed the organization as a 21-year-old and stormed his way to all-rookie team honours. Handling the pressure associated with being the next big thing, Gardiner – still finding his place in his third NHL season – said expectations in his own mind were always held in check. "He seems like a pretty relaxed kid," Gardiner told the Leaf Report of Rielly, "and thats how I went into it too. "I wasnt expected to make the team right away so I dont think I felt much pressure. I just kind of rolled with it once I started playing well and kept going." "There is a lot of expectation," he continued, "but hes still young so I dont think theres too much pressure on him." Rielly sat in the press-box for the opening two games of the regular season, but with Mark Fraser sidelined for up to a month with a left knee injury, an opportunity opened for him to get his first look against the Senators in the Leafs home opener on Saturday. The clock will starting ticking on his audition – one year of his entry-level contract will be burned after 9 games. What looms for the organization is an opportunity to assess whether he is, in fact, ready to play in the NHL as a teenager. Though they will likely exercise the utmost patience with their top young asset, the Leafs do believe his game could translate right away, Riellys cerebral nature and easy flow on skates among his more prominent traits. "He plays the game with his head and his legs and his hands," Carlyle said of Rielly ahead of the Saturday tilt, his Leafs sitting a perfect 2-0-0 to start the season. "Hes got all three assets that separate him from other people in his age-group. "Hes a strong puck-mover, he can get the puck through from the point on the power-play, hes got great wheels to get up and down the ice, hes smart in his reads so I dont know what more I can say that doesnt put an exclamation point on the type of player he is and what he can be." As to the expectations of his debut? "Just go out and play," Gardiner advised, "do your thing." ' ' '
