Season 3 Game 5
Final Score
Knicks: 107
Nuggets: 106
If you think Melo looks a little excited in that picture, then you're correct. He has a big reason to be. Trailing by 2 with 1.1 seconds left, everyone knew the Knicks were going to get the ball to Melo. Willie Cauley-Stein, the in boulder, was left un-defended as Denver used the extra defender to try to double Anthony. The Knicks ran screen after screen for him but it was hard to get him an open look. Finally, a desperation pass was inbounded to Melo where he was 5 feet behind the 3 point line. Somehow, he got the fadeaway off and knocked it down. MSG went ballistic. Anthony ended the game with 29 points and 7 rebounds. Brandon Knight had 17 and 11 ast and WCS grabbed 11 boards in only 21 minutes.
Denver was led by Faried who had 22 points and 9 rebounds. Isaiah Canaan had 22 and 10 assists and Wilson Chandler pitched in 16.
The New York Knicks are now 2-3 and next @ The Magic.
