New York (47-26) is enjoying its longest win streak since the 1993-94 team won 15 in a row, with Anthony turning in a spectacular performance in the opener of this two-game trip. He matched a career high with 50 points, making his first seven shots and finishing 7 of 10 on 3-pointers Tuesday in a 102-90 victory over a Miami team playing without LeBron James and Dwyane Wade.
"I think just from the start of the game, it's a feeling that you just have while you're out there on the court," Anthony said. "Sometimes you get off to a good start and then you get cold the rest of the game, but tonight wasn't one of those cases."
In three games against Atlanta (42-33) under former Hawks coach Mike Woodson, Anthony is averaging 39.0 points. He scored 42 and tied a franchise record with nine 3-pointers in a 106-104 victory Jan. 27 in these teams' only previous meeting this season.
Anthony is averaging an NBA-high 9.0 points per game in the first quarter. He scored 17 in the first period Tuesday, marking the fifth time this season he has scored at least that many through 12 minutes.
