'Melo, Billups lead Nuggets past Jazz
Posted: Jan 17, 2010 9:43 PM
DENVER (AP) - Carmelo Anthony scored 37 points and Chauncey Billups added 29 in the Denver Nuggets' 119-112 win over Utah that snapped a four-game winning streak by the Jazz on Sunday night.
Ty Lawson returned to Denver's rotation after missing four games with a sprained ankle and helped steady a sometimes erratic offense, scoring 11 points and dishing out an assist.
Nene added 18 points for the Nuggets, whose win on this January night could mean a lot come April.
Denver improved to 3-0 against Utah, winning the season series, which could prove crucial for playoff seeding should these teams end up with the same record in the tight Western Conference.
