Summary:

On January 25th 2011, the New York Knicks defeated the Charlotte Bobcats by a score of 111-78. However, the Knicks continue to show struggles in their team chemistry whether they win or lose. The Knicks star forward, Carmelo Anthony, scored only one point off a free throw during the entire game. This game was Anthony's career low in points scored in a game, the lowest it was since a game in 2008. The article is appealing to people who follow the NBA because it is very rare to watch a player such as Carmelo Anthony struggle so much.

Significance:

The win was important for the New York club because they were coming off a six game losing streak, but currently the Knicks still find themselves with a record under .500. While Anthony claims it was good to see his team win without him scoring, he also saw a problem in the large amount of shots he takes. The Knicks seem to struggle with Anthony as their leader, so only the future will tell if that will be fixed or not.
