Regular Season Round 75: Denver N. - N.Orleans H. 87-96

Date: January 9, 2011
If this was Carmelo Anthony's farewell, he sure didn't go out on a high note. Anthony scored just eight points in the Denver Nuggets' 96-87 loss to the New Orleans Hornets on Sunday night, putting a sour finish on a day filled with speculation that the superstar's departure from Denver was close after 7 1/2 seasons. A person with knowledge of the discussions told The Associated Press on Sunday night that the Nuggets are closing in on a deal that would send Anthony to New Jersey in a three-team trade. Anthony declined to comment on the latest trade speculation before the game, but his performance was one of the worst of his career. In foul trouble early, Anthony's first basket came with 6:51 left in the third quarter, when his finger-roll layup pulled Denver to 65-49, drawing scattered cheers from the crowd disgusted by the Nuggets' low energy. When he returned to the game a minute into the fourth quarter, he was greeted with more jeers than cheers and was even booed when the Nuggets were closing in after trailing by 19 in the third quarter. Chris Paul, who scored 20, and David West (19) helped New Orleans stave off the Nuggets and send Denver to its third straight loss. Anthony took just five shots until the fourth quarter and finished 3 for 11 from the floor in 34 minutes. *Courtesy of www.miamiherald.com
