Carmelo Anthony scored 36 points in New York's ninth loss in 10 games as they were defeated by the Bobcats by a 114-106 final.
Anthony's 36 points is his highest output since joining the Knicks.
“Offensively, I’m not worried about that,” Anthony said. “I’m not worried about me trying to fit in into the quote, unquote system that we’re supposed to have. I’m not worried about that. It’s just one of those games, where if you take the second quarter out, we win the basketball game.”
The Knicks were outscored by 14 points in the second quarter.
