Friday's Knicks Links: Johnson has faith in Hornacek

Carmelo Anthony can’t catch a break with All-NBA voters: Carmelo Anthony’s career-high assist average and recognition of him sharing the ball more than ever did nothing to sway All-NBA voters. For the third straight season, Anthony was not named on any of the three All-NBA teams, announced Thursday. Anthony’s last All-NBA appearance came in 2012-13, earning second-team honors after the Knicks posted a 54-28 record. On Thursday, Anthony received just two third-team votes. -- New York Post

Johnson said he thought it made “perfect sense.” -- New York Post
