When news broke yesterday that Miami would rest LeBron, Wade and Chalmers, I’m willing to bet the competitor in Carmelo Anthony said “oh yeah? I’ll make sure they never do that again.” Because you know he had to be a little disappointed, even thought it increased the Knicks chance of winning.
Last night, Carmelo Anthony seemed determined to fill it up for New York. And he did just that with LeBron and Wade sitting courtside watching. Anthony dropped 50 en route to a Knicks win.
With James and Dwayne Wade sitting out last night’s showdown with “minor’’ ailments, Anthony went major on the Heat Lite, put on a show for the ages with 50 points in 40 minutes and carried the Knicks to a
102-90 victory at American Airlines arena.
Anthony had 42 points after three quarters but needed a 16-footer with
16.9 seconds to reach the half-century mark. James had a great view of it all — from the bench — as Anthony sank 18 of 26 baskets, and made seven of 10 3-pointers.
