NEW YORK -- Carmelo Anthony let it fly from halfcourt, and when it went in, he had proof of what was already obvious.
"When I made the shot at the half, I told myself the zone was there," Anthony said.
Soon, he had passed Kevin Durant. Next was Bernard King, and finally Kobe Bryant.
Three records, all shot down in one scintillating performance.
Anthony scored a career-high 62 points to break the franchise and current Madison Square Garden marks, and the New York Knicks beat the Charlotte Bobcats 125-96 on Friday night to stop a five-game losing streak.
Anthony made 23 of 35 shots, one when he leaped from center court to beat the halftime buzzer, and even added 13 rebounds in the NBA's highest-scoring performance this season.
Anthony had 56 after three quarters, bettering Durant's previous season high of 54, and stayed in for the first few minutes of the fourth to break King's Knicks record of 60 set in 1984 and Bryant's arena record of 61 set five years ago.
"I made history tonight, with the performance, but just to be a part of that group of people, like I said, there's only a small group of people that knows what that zone feels like and tonight I was one of them," Anthony said.
He made 20 of his first 26 shots against what had been a good defensive team, but there was no defense for the zone Anthony was in.

Lol that one is kinda funny

Melo was just in that kobe zone
Good for him. Ive seen kobe do this a ton so im spoiled. Ive been missing these big offensive games and i got a kd and melo outburst one week apart. Nice

When your hot enough for 62 points, i dont want you having any assists

Really, the assists thing does not matter one bit

Who was he going to dish the ball to? Felton?

Bargnani being injured could say a lot if this continues

00 assists

He passed the ball a few times but his teammates would miss or wouldn't shoot. 
 
00 turnovers. Most points ever scored in a game by a player without a turnover.

True. I'm not suggesting Melo is better than them, but in the postgame Woodson said there's been a few times in the last couple years where Melo has started off in a tear like last night but he took him out. This time he kept him in and he got the record.

If you're really gonna bring up assists, you gotta think about 1. Who's he gonna pass to, 2. He's hot, 3. He didn't turn the ball over.
 
Good job Melo, maybe the Knicks can build momentum
 
Probably not thooooo.

 

[The Young One]

Melo willingly passed the ball when he got doubled & etc. Tremendous performance by Melo.

Also had a very efficient shooting game for a 60+ game. 6th highest if you ignore Wilt Chamberlain's games, lol.
