Anthony Matches NBA Mark with 33-Point Quarter

Oak Hill Alum Carmelo Anthony more than helped the Denver Nuggets overcome a 12-point halftime deficit, tying a 30-year old NBA record for most points in a quarter with 33, the Associated Press reported. Anthony matched George Gervin’s league mark for points in a quarter with 33 in the third and finished with a season-high 45 points in Denver’s 116-105 home victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves on Wednesday night.

“I’ve never been a part of a quarter like that before,” Anthony said in the Associated Press report. “I just felt that good. I can’t explain it. My 3-ball was going in, driving to the basket, getting fouled. Just the complete game tonight.”

Anthony was Oak Hill’s MVP for the 2001-2002 season and went on to lead Syracuse to the NCAA National Championship the following year.
