Knicks on same page in 'Melo pursuit

New Jersey Nets still believe they are in the race for Carmelo Anthony, and, if not, owner Mikhail Prokhorov thinks at least they made it harder for the New York Knicks.

In the latest developments in the rivals' pursuit of Anthony, the Knicks insisted on Sunday they are on the same page in their pursuit of the Denver Nuggets' All-star, and Isiah Thomas isn't involved in it.

Prokhorov told CNBC on Sunday he had a "fantastic" meeting with Anthony on Saturday night. The Russian billionaire had pulled the Nets out of talks last month, and even after they were recently renewed he said he originally had no plans to meet Anthony during the All-star weekend.
