Chemistry lessons in store for NY

Knicks big guns taking time to work out how to fire together on the same stage

NEW YORK - Jeremy Lin and Carmelo Anthony will have a couple more games to work on adapting their styles to each other before the NBA All-Star Game break, which offers the New York Knicks some vital practice time.

The Knicks had won eight of nine games since "Linsanity" began but Anthony returned from a groin strain on Monday and the New Jersey Nets beat New York 100-92, with new Asian-American star Lin and Anthony struggling together.
