Down one with three seconds remaining, the New York Knicks decided to put the game in the hands of their star player.
Unfortunately for the Knicks faithful, the Boston Celtics swarming defense forced Carmelo Anthony into a tough shot that went flying off the backboard - extending New York's losing streak.
Melo's clanker came just moments after Avery Bradley gave the Celtics the lead with an acrobatic drive to the basket.
