New York Knicks: Another big night from Carmelo Anthony is spoiled in loss to Mavs (Highlights)

New York Knicks forward Carmelo Anthony had another big scoring game, but it was all in vain. His team lost to the lowly Mavericks, 103-95.

• New York Knicks 95 (20-27)
• Dallas Mavericks 103 (16-29)
• NBA, Final, Box Score
• American Airlines Center, Dallas, Texas

Carmelo Anthony was obviously going to put up a huge number on the night he on the three year anniversary of the night broke Bernard King’s New York Knicks scoring record.

With a bid for a spot as an All-Star game reserve potentially on the line, Anthony posted his 11th game of the season with 30 or more points. The New York Knicks were just 5-5 in his previous remarkable efforts.

On Wednesday night in Dallas, they slipped to below .500 with a horrible 103-95 loss. Instead of building off of the momentum from their win on Monday against the Indiana Pacers, a playoff team, the Knicks fell to the lowly Mavericks.

Kristaps Porzingis was in foul trouble for the entire game and managed to log just 23 minutes and 13 points on 4 of 11 shooting. He’s clearly still not himself.

Derrick Rose looked even worse than usual on defense, but unlike most of the time his offense didn’t pick up for it. Rose was 6 of 15 from the field with 13 points and 3 assists.

Harrison Barnes (23 points, 5 rebounds) and Dirk Nowitzki (19 points, 4 rebounds) led the way for Dallas.

Up next: The Knicks return home on Friday to face the Charlotte Hornets. Tip off is at 7:30 p.m. ET.
