From almost the same spot on the floor where he missed a last-second shot three weeks ago, Carmelo Anthony swished a game-winning jumper.
Anthony’s 23-footer, his second chance in the final moments, sailed over the outstretched hand of Luol Deng and dropped cleanly through the net, giving theDenver Nuggets a 98-97 victory over the Chicago Bulls on Friday night.
The Nuggets came back for their fifth consecutive win at home after blowing a 19-point, third-quarter lead.
“It was kind of the same shot that he had against Dallas. I didn’t think he would miss two of them,” Nuggets coach George Karl said, referring to Anthony’s shot that rimmed out at the buzzer in a 103-102 loss to the Mavericks on Nov. 3.
Anthony finished with 22 points, including his 14th career game-winner.
