DENVER - Allen Iverson scored 44 points and dished out 15 assists in leading the Denver Nuggets to a 131-107 blowout of the Phoenix Suns on Saturday night.
Carmelo Anthony augmented Iverson's night with 29 points in 32 minutes in the duo's best performance since the holiday trade that brought them together three months ago.
Iverson made 16-of-22 shots from the field and Anthony was 13-for-20.
The Suns have lost twice - by a combined 46 points - since their 129-127 double-overtime win at Dallas on Wednesday night. They lost to Detroit 105-83 Friday night, which coach Mike D'Antoni blamed on emotional exhaustion.
The Suns never led in this one and fell behind by 38 points entering the fourth quarter against a team that they might face in the first round of the playoffs next month.
