In London, Carmelo Anthony praises Knicks owner

LONDON (AP) - If MSG Chairman James Dolan is listening to what Carmelo Anthony has to say in London, he'll probably be happy to hear it.

Two days after the Newark Star-Ledger reported that Dolan had put listening devices on the court to monitor everything said to and by Anthony, the New York Knicks forward spoke about the hubbub Wednesday in London.

Anthony says "I got an owner that looks out (for me). You can't beat that."

Anthony and Boston forward Kevin Garnett exchanged words during the Celtics' 102-96 victory Jan. 7. Anthony, clearly thrown off his game and finishing just 6 of 26 from the field, then tried to confront Garnett near the locker room.

Anthony would not reveal what was said by Garnett.
