Ballin’: ‘Melo Scores 33 in the 3rd Quarter

From Benjamin Hochman of The Denver Post:

There was a heated discussion at halftime.

“I thought everybody had a dullness to them,” Denver coach Karl said. “I complained about the starters at halftime. I complained about the bench at halftime.”

But the Nuggets began the third quarter on fire, igniting a 16-4 run. When Anthony hit a 3-pointer at the 6:30 mark — his first made jumper of the night — it tied the game at 60, basically giving Denver a do-over.

From that point, Anthony was unflappably unstoppable, calmly splashing 3s and slithering to the basket. He scored 33 of Denver’s 40 points in the quarter, including 24 points in a row, and the Nuggets led 84-78 heading into the fourth.
