Carmelo gets the help he wanted

DENVER - Carmelo Anthony hung out the big "Help Wanted" sign after Denver's last game and he got plenty of responses.

The Denver Nuggets avoided elimination with a 116-102 victory over the Utah Jazz on Wednesday night when Anthony's supporting cast finally came up big.

"I think tonight we responded as a unit to the challenge at hand," said Anthony, who had complained after the Nuggets' loss on Sunday night that he couldn't beat the Jazz by himself, comments he later clarified to show he meant everybody, including himself, had to do more.
