Player to watch: Carmelo Anthony, Knicks

VOICES

« I missed him on purpose. I'm too skinny to be chest bumping, can't hurt K-Love. »

— Wolves forward Corey Brewer on his celebratory leap that missed teammate Kevin Love wide right before practice Thursday in Phoenix. Love successfully recreated — bare chest and all — a LeBron James dunk done on that very same practice court. James, and Love, threw the ball off a far wall and threw down a dunk after the ball bounded perfectly back to him.
