Re: NBA: CHICAGO (2-7) at DENVER (7-3) The Bulls have no consistent and good rhythm this season so far. 1 game is good then 3 are terrible. > _></p>
By Blake Redabaugh PA SportsTicker Contributing Writer DENVER (Ticker) - Carmelo Anthony scored 26 points and AllenIverson added 22 and three steals as the Denver Nuggets earnedtheir sixth straight victory, a convincing 112-91 triumph overthe slumping Chicago Bulls on Tuesday night. Marcus Camby had 12 points, 20 rebounds and five blocks for theNuggets, who could push their streak to seven games on Wednesdayagainst the Los Angeles Clippers. It was the fourth time that Camby has pulled down at least 20boards this season. "Camby's presence is powerful out there," Nuggets coach GeorgeKarl said. "It is easy to dominate when you have a defensivepresence. This team has been playing better defense than Ithought they would be at this time." Denver came out firing on all cylinders in the first half,connecting on 22-of-38 shots (57 percent) from the floor enroute to a commanding 72-53 lead at the break. Named Western Conference Player of the Week on Monday, Iversonscored nine points during a 13-4 surge to close out the firsthalf. The former league Most Valuable Player finished with 20first-half points on 5-of-8 shooting and made all 10 freethrows. Denver concluded its four-game homestand by defeating opponentsby an average of 23 points. "We've been playing pretty good and we want to keep it up,"Anthony said. "Take what we did here at home and take it on theroad." Rookie Joakim Noah collected 16 points and eight boards for theBulls, who shot 40 percent (38-of-94) and fell to 1-3 on theirsix-game road swing. "It's really rough losing games," said Noah, who wonback-to-back national championships at Florida. "I don't knowwhat it is. We are just not playing well." Chicago, 2-8 on the season, never got any closer than 13 pointsafter intermission and trailed by as many as 30 at one stage. "We were a step slow and they took advantage of us," Bulls coachScott Skiles said. "They just put it on the floor and went byus and created all kinds of problems"
