I own him in my fantasy league so I was disappointed to see him get off to another slow start today going 3 of 9 in the first half. That all changed in the 3rd quarter tho as he went NUTS! I was watching the play-by-play and saw this section below:
1:38 MIN - R. Foye makes a 24-foot three-pointer from the left corner. Assist: A. Jefferson
1:57 DEN - C. Anthony makes a 22-foot jumper from the right wing. Assist: N. Hilario
2:12 MIN - A. Jefferson makes a 15-foot turnaround jumper along the left baseline. Assist: R. McCants
2:29 DEN - C. Anthony makes a 12-foot turnaround jumper from the right wing
2:51 MIN - R. Foye makes a 25-foot three-pointer from the left wing. Assist: A. Jefferson
3:09 DEN - C. Anthony makes a 24-foot three-pointer from the right wing. Assist: A. Carter
3:19 MIN - A. Jefferson makes a 6-foot jump hook shot in the lane. Assist: K. Ollie
3:35 DEN - C. Anthony makes a 16-foot jumper from the right wing. Assist: C. Billups
It was then I realised that he had 33 points in the quarter!! Here's what the crew at Dime had to say about the performance (click on the title below to read the full story).
‘Melo Drops 33 In The Third Quarter | Dime Magazine (www.dimemag.com) : Daily NBA News, NBA Trades, NBA Rumors, Basketball Videos, Sneakers
Entering tonight’s game, Carmelo Anthony’s season high was 30 points. Tonight, he scored 33 in the third quarter.
Check out the stat line: 12-15 from the field, 4-5 from behind the arc and 5-6 from the line in the period. At one point ‘Melo was NBA Jam hot making eight straight shots and scoring 24 straight points for the Nuggets. He finished the game with 45, just four shy of his career high.
Anthony tied the NBA record for points in a quarter, set by San Antonio’s George Gervin and broke David Thompson’s Nuggets team record of 32. Amazingly, both records were set on April 9, 1978.
