    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">DENVER -- Denver coach George Karl on Monday downplayed his decision to bench star Carmelo Anthony for the final 17 minutes and 45 seconds of a loss to Phoenix.

    "For me, at the five-minute mark of the third quarter, I didn't know how to win a game," Karl said. "Then, when I got a team out there that showed me they could win a game, I decided to stay with them.

    "It was probably more their good play than Carmelo's average play that caused me to stay with the crew that was on the court."</div>
