"This is exactly what Knicks owner James Dolan envisioned when he traded for Carmelo Anthony — greatness. This is what Dolan envisioned when he held Landry Fields out of that deal — a dynamic teammate for Anthony.

Desperate for a victory, a healthier Anthony returned from a two-game absence and breathed life into a dying season as the Knicks clobbered the woeful Pistons from start to finish in a blissful 113-86 victory at the Garden.

Anthony, in his most efficient, selfless performance of the season, scored 25 points, made 9 of 14 buckets, was 2 of 3 from the 3-point line, made all five of his free throws and dished out six assists."
