Carmelo Anthony: 5 Best Performance With The New York Knicks

#2 SUPER EFFICIENT 50 - 2nd April 2013 vs the Miami Heat

New York Knicks v Miami Heat

Stat line: 50 points, 2 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal and 1 block on 69.2% shooting

Looking at the stat line, Melo emphasizes once again, what an insanely efficient shooter he is and how he has the gifted ability to put a lot of points in a hurry at a good clip.

What's even more amazing about this game is that Anthony did not have a single point in the paint. All of his 50 points came from the mid-range or beyond the arc, where he shot 7-of-10 (70%) from. Yes, it came against the reigning champs - the Miami Heat - who had recorded a 27-game winning streak in March of that season but in this game, both LeBron James and Dwyane Wade were not participating.

Nonetheless, Anthony's efficiency is remarkable and cannot be undermined because it came against a slightly weakened opposition. Important to note also is that this was Anthony's most successful season with the Knicks - 54 wins and a Conf. Semifinals appearances.
