The triangle offense is back, but in the end it was Carmelo Anthony’s clutch one-on-one play that carried the Knicks down the stretch.
Anthony scored 37 points and hit the game-winning basket with three-tenths of a second left to the lead the Knicks to a 110-109 victory over the Sixers Saturday night at Madison Square Garden.
The Knicks had squandered a 17-point lead and trailed by one after Jahlil Okafor scored inside with nine seconds left. Out of the timeout, Derrick Rose had the ball and passed to Anthony on the left wing. Anthony got to the baseline and got enough space over Robert Covington to drill the decisive baseline jumper.
