MANILA, Philippines – Carmelo Anthony turned back the hands of time to help the Portland Trail Blazers get past the Detroit Pistons, 107-104, on Sunday, February (Monday, February 24, Manila time).
Anthony delivered a vintage performance and put up a season-high 32 points on an efficient 11-of-16 clip as the Blazers snapped a three-game skid to improve to 26-32 for 9th place in the Western Conference.
It was the first 30-point game for the 35-year-old veteran, who battled back to top form after not playing an entire year in the NBA last season, since 2017.
Anthony hit an 18-foot dagger with 21 seconds left to give the Blazers a 105-101 lead before CJ McCollum, who led the way with a season-high 41, sealed the win with two foul shots in the last 15 seconds.
