DENVER (Reuters) - Carmelo Anthony hit 30 points as the Denver Nuggets bounced back from two consecutive losses to thump the in-form Oklahoma City Thunder 119-90 Wednesday.
After below average shooting efforts in the two defeats, Anthony started with 15 points in the first quarter and finished with 11 field goals from 19 attempts.
The streaking Oklahoma City (36-24), winners of 12 of their last 14 games, struggled throughout with leading scorer Kevin Durant limited to just 19 points.
Denver (40-21) led by nine points at halftime then scored 14 straight midway through the third to open up a 27-point advantage.
