Carmelo Anthony scores 37 points in Knicks' win
New York Knicks forward Carmelo Anthony carried the team during a 110-109 win over the Philadelphia 76ers on Saturday, scoring 37 points with six rebounds, two assists, one block and two 3-pointers.
He hit a jumper over Robert Covington with 0.3 seconds left to give the Knicks the lead for good. After the game, Melo sounded very confident and said he had just enough space to get the look he needed. Anthony is a better shooter when he's not next to Kristaps Porzingis with better percentages, but even when KP returns, Melo should be firing away as long as he's active.
Anthony's 29.7 Usage Rate is the third-highest among forwards playing an average of 20 minutes per game this year. Melo hasn't lost much steam in the 15th year of his career, with a 1.1 nERD (93rd-best) and a .500 Effective Field Goal Rate to go with 23.5 points and 6.0 rebounds per game.
