NEW YORK, N.Y. - Trey Burke was so deep in the corner, so well defended, that Carmelo Anthony was sure the game would continue.Theres no way thats going in, he thought. Lets just get the rebound and go to overtime.But Burke has done this before, and he knew better.It looked good as soon as it left my hand, he said.Burke made a jumper from the corner as time expired, giving the Utah Jazz a 102-100 victory Friday night over the New York Knicks, who got an NBA season-high 46 points from Anthony.Anthonys 3-pointer with 2.3 seconds left tied it at 100 and put the Knicks in triple digits for the first time this season. But Burke caught the ball near the Jazz bench, faded back to get his shot over the hand of J.R. Smith, and nailed the jumper before stepping back over the sideline into hugs from his teammates.The Knicks lost their seventh straight game.Gordon Hayward scored a season-high 33 points for the Jazz, and Derrick Favours added 21 points and 12 rebounds.Hayward hit a jumper at the buzzer to beat Cleveland last week, but this time the Jazz went to Burke, the former college player of the year who made a deep 3-pointer to force overtime in a victory over Kansas during Michigans run to the national title game in 2013.He also made a go-ahead 3-pointer with 1.6 seconds left in a victory over Orlando last season.Trey is the guy thats been known for hitting big shots, Jazz coach Quin Snyder said. I think hes one of those guys that gets excited when he gets the ball and Gordons been like that, too.Pablo Prigioni scored 13 points for the Knicks, who lost Iman Shumpert to a bruised right hip in the opening minute of the game, landing him on an injured list that already included Jose Calderon and Andrea Bargnani.But they almost won anyway because of a brilliant performance from Anthony, who had 17 points in the final period. He could only smile in disbelief at the end, knowing Burkes shot would stand even before the replay review was concluded.I just couldnt believe it, Anthony said. I had to smile that one off.Burke finished with 13 points and eight assists for the Jazz, who stopped a six-game skid against the Knicks.Utah was outscored 9-1 to open the fourth and fell behind 81-76, before a three-point play by Hayward started an 11-0 burst by the Jazz that Favours capped with a dunk for an 87-81 advantage. But Anthony kept muscling his way to the basket or drawing fouls to keep the Knicks close enough until his deep jumper over Favours knotted it up.Shumpert was hurt when Jazz centre Enes Kanter banged into him on a drive to the basket. With Amare Stoudemire sitting out to rest, it left the NBAs No. 29 team in points per game without its Nos. 2 and 3 scorers.

' ' ' league.Initially a backup after being drafted in the sixth round, he took over from injured quarterback Drew Bledsoe — and the rest is history.Tom Bradys done a lot of great things over the last 15 years, Patriots tight end Tim Wright said.Who would argue?After the usual Media Day fare concerning his favourite music (Jay-Z got a shout-out) and his hair (but no marriage proposals, as happened in the past), Brady got around to taking questions Tuesday about his place in the game.ddddddddddddHe knows full well that Super Bowl success is a major part of how quarterbacks careers are defined. And Brady said he recalls the feeling of hoisting the Lombardi Trophy three times in a four-year span a decade ago.Those things happened so fast back then. I didnt even understand what was happening, Brady said. Its not like I didnt appreciate those experiences. I certainly did. But ... weve had two tough ones.Wilson, 26, has yet to play an NFL season that didnt include at least one playoff victory for his team.He goes about things a different way than Brady on the field, far more skilled as a ball carrier and on-the-move improviser. Wilson can sling the football, too, though, and put it right where he wants it, as evidenced by his 35-yard touchdown throw in overtime to win the NFC championship game against the Green Bay Packers.Before a late comeback, Seattle trailed by 16 points. Wilson had a passer rating of zero at halftime and he finished the game with four interceptions.But that did not concern him Tuesday. The only thing that did was the final score.I want to be considered a winner, said Wilson, sporting a thick beard. Thats ultimately the goal in terms of playing quarterback: Win, win, win.Asked which quarterbacks were his favourites while growing up, Wilson mentioned Brady and Peyton Manning, calling them two guys that Ive looked up to since I was a little kid.In last years Super Bowl, Seattle overwhelmed Mannings Denver Broncos 43-8, part of Wilsons 10-0 record in games against quarterbacks who have won a title.That could become 11-0 on Sunday.To get back to the Super Bowl is a huge thing, Wilson said. Its a one-of-a-kind thing.Not for this games two QBs.___Follow Howard Fendrich on Twitter at http://twitter.com/HowardFendrich___Online:AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: http://twitter.com/AP_NFL ' ' '
