Portland Trail Blazers veteran small forward Carmelo Anthony has been clutch down in Orlando, Florida.
That trend continued on Saturday against the Memphis Grizzlies, as Anthony hit a game-sealing 3-pointer to send the Blazers to the 2020 playoffs.
With less than 30 seconds left, Damian Lillard drove to the basket and collapsed the defense, eventually finding Melo from the corner 3-ball.
It was Anthony's only 3 of the game. He was 1-of-6.

The Blazers-Lakers showdown will have a lot of star power. Portland will be led by Damian Lillard, CJ McCollum, Jusuf Nurkic and Carmelo Anthony. Los Angeles, meanwhile, has LeBron James and Anthony Davis leading the charge.
