7:00 PM ET - Air Canada Centre, Toronto, OT
TORONTO (NBA.com exclusive) -- Three times is the charm.
The words of Carmelo Anthony after he missed two free throws and a potential game-winner before getting a third chance to lift the Nuggets over the Toronto Raptors. An offensive rebound from Nene led to a Chauncey Billups assist to Anthony, who nailed a jumper as time expired, giving the Nuggets a thrilling 97-96 victory over the Raptors.
"It all started with the two free throws and then we got the ball back out of bounds," Anthony reflected. "I had a chance to end it right before the game-winner. I missed it. Three times is the charm."
The win prevented the Nuggets from dropping four straight and was a huge boost with road games against Orlando and Dallas coming up.
"Somebody up there likes me," said Denver interim coach Adrian Dantley. "That's all I can say."
The shot snapped the hearts of Raptors fans, who watched their team come out with the energy that had been lacking in back-to-back losses of 26 points in their last two home contests. The shot completed a comeback that had the Raptors up 12 with just over eight minutes to go in the fourth.
When a three-point play from Andrea Bargnani put the Raptors up three with 44.4 seconds, Anthony was fouled and missed two free throws. Despite the Raptors owning a 58-38 advantage on the boards for the game, the Nuggets came up with the offensive rebound and Chauncey Billups hit a 3-pointer to tie the game at 95-95 with 33.9 seconds.
After Chris Bosh made one of two free throws, Anthony missed his first jumper with 6.9 seconds on the clock and the Nuggets came away with the biggest offensive rebound of the night, feeding Anthony for the game-winner.
"It's disappointing, but down in the end their two clutch players made two great shots," said Raptors coach Jay Triano. "Chauncey's three with a hand right in his face gives them a chance and then the second look, Carmelo makes a contested two at the buzzer. Their stars made plays. It's tough to swallow, but there is nothing we can do about it."
Anthony finished with 25 points and eight rebounds, Nene scored 20 and grabbed nine rebounds and Billups overcame a 4-for-18 shooting night to finish with 18, none bigger than his final 3-pointer.
"That's why he's named big shot," rookie Ty Lawson said. "Because he makes the big shots."
With 12 games remaining and a playoff spot still up for grabs, the Raptors were desperate to get a win and right the ship before heading out on the road for a crucial two-game swing against Miami and Charlotte.
It appeared as though they were on their way when things fell apart for the Nuggets in the third. Despite open looks and transition opportunities, they couldn't make a shot.
"Great looks," Billups said of Denver's looks in the quarter. "Layups, transition passes, 10-foot shots. It was incredible, but we didn't get discouraged, we didn't hang our heads, we just continued to play."
After shooting 56 percent in the first half, the Nuggets made just 3-for-21 in the period and were outscored 29-16, trailing 81-72 at the start of the fourth.
"We didn't quit," Dantley said. "Throughout the whole game we didn't do a good job of transition runbacks. We didn't quit and that's the bottom line. Third quarter I just kept telling them don't quit, just hang in there. ... Luckily, the guys didn't quit on me."
The Raptors played without Hedo Turkoglu, who was out with the stomach flu. Sonny Weems started in place of Turkoglu, finishing with 14 against his former team. Bosh led the Raptors with 18 and 12 rebounds, Bargnani added 14 and 15 rebounds and rookie DeMar DeRozan had 15 off the bench for the first time this season.
With his teammates mobbing him as the buzzer sounded, Anthony celebrated. In the locker room afterward, he said it was, "on to the next," but acknowledged the feeling of finishing off the Raptors on their home floor.
"I think hitting one on the road, you get that much more joy out of it," Anthony said. "That much more satisfaction. You've got 20 thousand people against you and you can make a shot to silence them?" He smiled once more. "That feels good."
