With a steaming Carmelo Anthony having just knocked down three clutch shots in the final three minutes, Kobe Bryant ensured that New York’s star wasn’t going to be the one to hit the game’s deciding shot in the final seconds.
“As soon as they lined up, I said (to Anthony), ‘Look you’re not going to touch the ball,’” Bryant said. “‘I’ve hit like 10 game-winners in this particular lineup. I know where you’re going. You don’t have a chance of getting it. Somebody else is going to have to make it.”
Indeed, with Bryant draped all over Anthony, the Knicks were unable to inbound the ball to their nine-time All-Star, and instead sent it to Robin Lopez, who nearly committed a backcourt violation. Instead, he handed it to Jose Calderon, who took over from there.
