New York Knicks stud Carmelo Anthony decided to crossover Indiana Pacers swingman Thaddeus Young to oblivion on Tuesday night.
OK, Melo. This is definitely a way to spark your squad.
With the New York Knicks down double-digits and looking dead in the water — according to Wally Szczerbiak of MSG Networks during of the infamous Chase timeouts — Carmelo Anthony did his best to spark a comeback.
He took a pass from point guard Derrick Rose at the top of the key and proceeded to abuse ex-Net Thaddeus Young (video above).
A quick little dribble right and cross left forced Young to fall hard as Melo hit the 17-foot elbowish bucket.
In 32 minutes, Anthony has poured in 29 points on 11-22 from the floor including a late third quarter 3-pointer that put New York within three points of the visiting Indiana Pacers.
Right now the Pacers hold a five-point lead with 8:04 remaining in the fourth quarter.
