Sunday's NBA notebook: Carmelo Anthony's 43 lead Knicks to OT win

New York? Carmelo Anthony called it a statement game, and the message should be clear for the Bulls.

Anthony scored 43 points and made the go-ahead 3-pointer with 8.2 seconds left in overtime as the Knicks spoiled the return of Derrick Rose and beat the Bulls 100-99 on Sunday.

"This was a playoff game. We have a chance, we might play these guys in the playoffs if we keep doing what we're doing and get that seed, so this was a big statement game for us," Anthony said.

Rose scored 29 points after missing the previous 12 games with a strained right groin.

"It's tough. It was definitely tough," Rose said.
