Carmelo Anthony delivered one of his best performances yet this season in the game against the Indiana Pacers. Anthony rallied the New York Knicks for a 118-111 win at the Madison Square Garden on Tuesday.

Anthony finished the game with 35 points, four rebounds, four assists, and two steals in just 37 minutes of playing time. It was a rough time for the Knicks that appeared to be a little tired after the recent nine-day trip to the West Coast, according to The New York Times.
