Carmelo Anthony scored at least 20 points Thursday night for the 27th straight game. Anthony is two games away from tying the Knicks' record for most consecutive 20-point games, set by Richie Guerin in 1961-62.
| Season | Player | Streak |
|---|---|---|
| 1961-62 | Richie Guerin | 29 |
| 1989-90 | Patrick Ewing | 28 |
| 2012-13 | Carmelo Anthony | 27* |
| 2010-11 | Amar'e Stoudemire | 26 |
During the Celtics gamelast night, Anthony and Kevin Garnett have shared the floor since Anthony confronted Garnett in the bowels of Madison Square Garden after the Knicks' loss to Boston on Jan. 7.
Anthony has insisted that the incident is behind him and, by all appearances, there has been no carryover from that night.
Garnett and Anthony bumped fists before tipoff.
Garnett had a wicked -- as they say in Boston -- block on an Anthony layup attempt, much to the delight of the TD Garden crowd.
Anthony didn't shoot well in the first half, but contributed in other ways. He had seven rebounds and two assists.
He finished 4-for-13 from the field with 13 points.
Garnett had five points and a game-high nine rebounds, helping the Celtics keep pace despite their poor performance from beyond the arc (2-for-11).
Paul Pierce has a game-high 19 points.
Boston would be down by a significant margin were it not for Rajon Rondo, who has a game-high nine assists. Anthony leads the Knicks with two assists, another sign that this team misses Ray Felton.
