That was one heck of a play-in game between the Portland Trail Blazers and Memphis Grizzlies at Walt Disney World in Orlando Saturday afternoon.

The winner would go on to take on the Los Angeles Lakers in the first round of the NBA Playoffs next week.

Up 119-116 with just over 20 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter, Blazers forward and future Hall of Famer Carmelo Anthony nailed a dagger three to put this game out of reach and send Portland to the postseason.

This is merely the continuation of a resurgent Carmelo Anthony in his first season with the Blazers. It’s also going to make Portland a tough out against the top-seeded Lakers.

Needless to say, the NBA world had its reactions to perhaps the biggest shot of Melo’s career.

Carmelo Anthony sending teams home in 2020. Love to see it.

Melo takes so much pride in making the playoffs now after the way stuff ended back in NYC. Told me he used to take it for granted bc of the long run of playoff appearances he had to start his career

FINALLY: A MELO SIGHTING! HE GETS ONE TO FALL. THE one. Welcome back, Melo.
