A little elbow grease worked wonders for Carmelo Anthony. Bothered by a sore right elbow the past few days, Anthony followed a treatment session with his best offensive showing of the young season, scoring 30 points to lead the Denver Nuggets past the Los Angeles Clippers 111-104 on Friday night. "I got some real good work done last night on my elbow, loosened it up and put it back in place," said Anthony, who hit 14 of his 20 shots and both of his free throws. "It felt good. That was one of the keys." Reserve Al Harrington added 18 points and Arron Afflalo had 16 for the Nuggets, who have beaten the Clippers in 12 of their past 14 meetings, including eight straight at the Pepsi Center. read more: http://scores.espn.go.com/nba/recap?gameId=301105007
