It was a career night for Carmelo Anthony and a welcome break from losing as the New York Knicks creamed the Charlotte Bobcats 125-96 Friday Night at Madison Square Garden.Anthony broke the Knicks' five game losing streak and their old scoring record with his 62 points.Bernard King held the old record of 60,which he scored on Christmas Day 1984.King said he was absolutely delighted it was Anthony who broke his longtime record.
It was also a scoring record for the present day Madison Square Garden,which opened in 1968.Kobe Bryant held the old record of 61 points;while Wilt Chamberlain scored 73 points at the old Garden in November 1962 for the San Francisco Warriors,who have since moved to Oakland.*
Other Knicks contributed to the win,including J.R. Smith with his 14 points and Tyson Chandler with 6 rebounds,but they consciously focused the game on Anthony when they realised a record was in the making.Before the game,they had showed him a motivational video by his personal hero,boxing legend Muhammad Ali.It was a night of fun for the Knicks,bringing their season record to 16-27.They held onto third place in the Atlantic Division.
Al Jefferson led the Bobcats with 25 points and 9 rebounds.*

This week's videos of "Lucky Star" and "The Last Time" balance Madonna and The Rolling Stones in their young tracks,the masculine with the feminine.She is the slinkiest singer in that take,let me tell you.The Stones were building their early success in the British Isles,founding what was to come worldwide.
