5 years agoPortland Trail Blazers forward Carmelo Anthony scored 23 points with nine rebounds, two assists, a triple, and a steal in a 102-94 loss to the New Orleans Pelicans. Anthony's highlight of the night was a steal and buzzer-beating three to tie the game at the end of the first quarter. The 35-year-old has struggled from the field in December, with a 39.7 percent mark, but has shot a scorching 43.2 percent from the three-point arc. For the season, Anthony is averaging over one steal per game for the first time since 2014-15. Anthony and the Blazers will play on Thursday night against the Utah Jazz, one of the better teams in the league at defending the three-point line.--Tim Capurso
