Carmelo Anthony Drops Thad Young with Step-Back, Buries Jumper in 3rd Quarter

Carmelo Anthony had himself a monster third quarter Tuesday night against the Indiana Pacers.

The New York Knicks forward finished the period with 15 points, and arguably his best highlight came on a step-back jumper after he dropped Thaddeus Young with a crossover.

Four-and-a-half minutes later, with 1.7 seconds to go, Anthony drilled a contested three-pointer over Young to cut the Pacers' lead to 87-84 heading into the fourth.

Anthony finished with 35 points on 13-of-25 shooting, including 7-of-11 from downtown, and the Knicks won, 118-111.
