PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Carmelo Anthony has been around the NBA for quite some time but he’s never faced the team that launched his career in the playoffs. Anthony’s current team, the Portland Trail Blazers, faces the Denver Nuggets in a first-round best-of-seven series starting Saturday. Anthony wasn’t with the Blazers yet when they last faced the Nuggets in the playoffs in 2019. These are all things that you want to have clicking for you going into the postseason,” Anthony said. So we’ve got to stay with that, continue to believe in ourselves, understand what we are up against, understand how hard we worked to get to this point.“Loading... Loading... Loading... Loading...
