Carmelo Anthony didn’t have the best shooting game of his career in his New York Knicks debut, but few at Madison Square Garden will be asking for a refund. The Knicks beat the Milwaukee Bucks, 114-108, with Melo and fellow new guy Chauncey Billups each scoring four points in the final minute.
Carmelo Anthony Scores Critical Buckets In Debut; Knicks Beat Bucks
Anthony finished the night with 27 points and 10 rebounds, followed by Billups’ 21 points and eight assists. To his eternal shame, Melo was responsible for one of the two free throws missed by Knicks players on the night. John Salmons led the Bucks with 27 points and seven assists, with Andrew Bogut adding 14 points and 12 boards.
The Knicks, now 29-26 and undefeated in the Carmelo Anthony era, now begin a road trip that’ll take them to Cleveland on Friday, Miami on Sunday, and Orlando on Tuesday.
