Carmelo Anthony’s meltdown costs Knicks in loss to Pacers

INDIANAPOLIS – Carmelo Anthony tried to “decompress’’ after the latest loss Monday, but it didn’t work.

Instead, Anthony deconstructed, suffering a meltdown on the court Wednesday in Indiana, shooting just 5-of-20 for 14 points and committing a costly technical foul with 1:12 left in the Knicks’ heartbreaking 108-105 loss to the Pacers.

It ended with Anthony shooting an airball from 3-point range on the right wing off an inbounds pass from Lance Thomas with 1.9 seconds left. Moments before rookie Kristaps Porzingis had a chance to redeem Anthony but missed a straightaway 3-pointer with a chance to win it.
