Carmelo Anthony Scores 62pt In Win Over BobCats And Breaks Knicks Franchise Scoring Record

New York Knicks

This is one way for the Knicks to turn things around — simply have their best player go on an insane scoring tear to single handedly drag the team to victory.

Carmelo Anthony turned in a performance for the ages on Friday, pouring in 62 points to lead the Knicks to a 125-96 win over the Bobcats.

The initial reaction from casual observers would be to dismiss the team the scoring outburst came against, but Charlotte is seventh in the league in defensive efficiency, and came into this contest holding down the eighth and final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference — which, by the way, had them sitting three games ahead of New York in the standings.

The 62-point total was not only a franchise record, but it also set the record for modern day performances at Madison Square Garden since 1968. Kobe Bryant held the previous building record with the 61 he put up in 2009, which bested a 60-point performance from Bernard King back in 1984.
