Carmelo Anthony has been playing extremely well this season. Anthony continued his hot play against the Cavaliers Friday night. He scored 24 points in 25 minutes of play. Anthony also knocked down six out of eight from the three-point line. He also grabbed 5 rebounds on the night as well. LeBron James had nothing but high praise for Carmelo after the two took over the game down the stretch.
Anthony is “a threat,” according to James, who improved to 16-1 in his career against the Cavaliers.

“He’s a sniper,” James added. “One of those guys that doesn’t need much air space to get it off because it’s a quick trigger. He creates so much space for Russ and myself and A.D. to work our pick-and-roll magic.”
