DALLAS - No matter how many things the Denver Nuggets did wrong Saturday, they somehow always remained within striking distance of the Dallas Mavericks.
And with a second left, Carmelo Anthony struck.
Anthony broke free of a defender trying to foul him and nailed a 3-pointer that gave the Nuggets a 106-105 victory over the Mavericks, giving them a 3-0 series lead that has been insurmountable in NBA history.
Denver trailed 105-101 with 31 seconds left, but got a quick dunk from Anthony and forced Dirk Nowitzki to miss a 13-footer with about 8 seconds left. After a timeout, Anthony took an inbounds pass and Dallas' Antoine Wright tried to foul him - twice - since the Mavericks had a foul to give.
Anthony lost his dribble the first time, then bounced off the second bump to find himself wide open. He buried the 3 from right in front of the Mavericks bench, where everyone was going bonkers over the lack of a foul call. Chauncey Billups scored 32 points while Nowitzki had 33 points and 16 rebounds in the loss.
