In a matchup for the ages, it was Carmelo Anthony and the 2007-08 Nuggets who would prevail against Michael Jordan and the legendary 1997-98 Bulls.
Anthony poured in a game-high 30 points and dished out four dimes to power Denver to a 74-67 thriller over one of the best teams to have ever graced the NBA. Michael Jordan, of course, led the “The Last Dance” Bulls with 24 points and five assists.
Although the Nuggets weren’t the best defensive team during the 2007-08 season, sitting second to last in points allowed at 107 per game, the team rose to the occasion Thursday night.
