Carmelo Anthony Game Winning Buzzer Beating Shot Against Toronto Raptors

The words of Carmelo Anthony after he missed two free throws and a potential game-winner before getting a third chance to lift the Nuggets over the Toronto Raptors. An offensive rebound from Nene led to a Chauncey Billups assist to Anthony, who nailed a jumper as time expired, giving the Nuggets a thrilling 97-96 victory over the Raptors. "It all started with the two free throws and then we got the ball back out of bounds," Anthony reflected. "I had a chance to end it right before the game-winner. I missed it. Three times is the charm." The win prevented the Nuggets from dropping four straight and was a huge boost with road games against Orlando and Dallas coming up. "Somebody up there likes me," said Denver interim coach Adrian Dantley. "That's all I can say." The shot snapped the hearts of Raptors fans, who watched their team come out with the energy that had been lacking in back-to-back losses of 26 points in their last two home contests. The shot completed a comeback that had the Raptors up 12 with just over eight minutes to go in the fourth.
