Anthony, who had 50 points and 40 in his previous two games, equaled Bernard King's 1984-85 mark.

J.R. Smith added 30 points for the Knicks, who used a huge third quarter to turn around the game after a lackluster first half on the night they honored their 1972-73 NBA championship team.

Brandon Jennings scored 25 points for the Bucks.
