Carmelo Making His Presence Felt

Just the night before close friend Lebron James took the spotlight by becoming the Cleveland Cavaliers Franchise record holder for steal recording 735. Last night Carmelo Anthony started the game against Minnesota with just a win in mind. He never planned on making any records just a win would be fine. At the end of the 1st Melo had only 9 points. After 2 minutes into the 3rd quarter Melo took over the game and went on to match George Gervin record of 33 points in a quarter. Gervin scored 33 points for the San Antonio against New Orleans in the 2nd quarter in 1978. Now 30 years later 24 years old Melo stepped up and equal the record. He ended the night with 45 points a season high as the Nuggets beat the Timberwolves 116-105 taking them to 15-7 on the season. With his teammates urging him to go for the record he did so in fine style making a Franchise record and equaling the NBA record.
