Usually when the Trail Blazers are in trouble in the fourth quarter, they turn look to Damian Lillard and “Dame Time” to turn the tide. But on Saturday in Minneapolis, it would be Carmelo Anthony, on the precipice of surpassing another impressive milestone, who would come through in the clutch.
The 6-8 forward in his 18th season out of Syracuse scored 10 points in the fourth quarter, including a three that moved him into 11th in NBA history in scoring, and handed out four assists to help lift the Trail Blazers to a 125-121 victory versus the Timberwolves Saturday night at the Target Center.
