Carmelo's 17 In The 4th Leads Denver To Come From Behind Win

Carmelo Anthony scored 17 of his 31 points in the 4th quarter to lead the Nuggets back from 11 points down in a 94-93 win over the Hornets.

Anthony stepped up with one of his most impressive performances of the season following the ejection of Kenyon Martin.

``We were a little rattled, so we had to get everybody together and just tell them, 'Look, let's cut the lead down and we'll fight back from there,''' Anthony said. ``Somebody had to get it going out there.''

Dan Dickau scored 22 points for the Hornets. Speedy Claxton scored 5 points in his first game for New Orleans.

Magic Turn Down Francis To Denver Deal

ESPN and the Denver Post are reporting that the Orlando Magic turned down an offer from the Nuggets that would have sent Andre Miller, Nikoloz Tskitishvili and Voshon Lenard to Orlando for Steve Francis.

Francis was acquired by the Magic in the Tracy McGrady trade, but has been problematic of late, as he was unhappy following the trade of Cuttino Mobley and just recently he was late returning to the team after the All-Star break.
