Nuggets forward Carmelo Anthony vowed earlier this week that he wouldn't get another technical foul for the rest of the season, but was whistled for one on Thursday night.

"Don't believe everything you hear," Anthony said.

He has 14 technicals on the season, meaning two more would call for a mandatory one-game suspension.

Denver coach George Karl said the forward has been "alerted" about his standing, and Anthony has vowed that he won't "say anything" to officials for the rest of the season.
