Playoff-bound Nuggets beat Knicks behind Anthony

The AP reports: Hours before the calendar even turned to April, the Nuggets weren’t just alive and kicking but playoff-bound, clinching a spot in the postseason party with a 111-104 win over the New York Knicks on Tuesday night… Fueling this win were Anthony’s 29 points, Nene’s 18 points and 12 boards, and Kenyon Martin’s jumpers in crunch time, all of which helped Denver hold off the Knicks after blowing most of a 27-point second-quarter lead… Denver has won nine of 10 and New York has lost nine of 10, so a mismatch was expected, and the Nuggets obliged by racing out to a 62-35 led with five minutes left in the first half. That’s when they got lackadaisical, and the Knicks, who were led by Nate Robinson’s 30 points, got hot.
