Carmelo Anthony scored 36 points to help the Denver Nuggets get revenge on the Indiana Pacers with a 121-107 triumph yesterday.

The Pacers had blown out the Nuggets 144-113 on November 9 but Denver (25-18) responded to earn their fifth win in their last seven games.

Anthony, who had been booed by his home crowd amid trade rumors, made a career-best six three-pointers in the third quarter alone where he tallied 23 points to give his team control.

Tyler Hansbrough led the way with 27 points and 10 rebounds for the Pacers (16-25), who lost their fifth in a row.
