    The Nuggets just pulled out a triple OT thriller against Phoenix 139-137. Carmelo had 43 points, including the game winner, and 11 boards. I'll have the recap and box score up when available.

    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post"> DENVER (Ticker) -- Not even a kick to his face and a bloody nose could stop Carmelo Anthony from being the hero for the Denver Nuggets.

    Anthony scored 43 points, including a jumper with 2.9 seconds left, as the Nuggets pulled out a thrilling 139-137 triple-overtime victory over the Phoenix Suns.

    Shortly after giving Denver a 131-129 lead with 2:42 remaining, Anthony became tangled with Phoenix's Shawn Marion. On his way to the floor, the star forward was inadvertently kneed in the nose by teammate Eduardo Najera. </div>

    Hey K8B I think you posted the wrong link for the box score, it took me to the box for the Magic-Clipper game.

    Didn't the Suns just play a triple OT game against the Knicks? I'm sure the refs are loving the overtime pay. I wish I could have seen this game.

    OMG hah, I never even thought of it that way. That would explain so much! Lots of games have gone into OT lately it seems. Maybe just b/c I'm looking for them.

    Carmelo is CLUTCH. 2 game winners in two straight games. He's been clutch since his rookie season.
