'Melo scores 38 in return as Nuggets win (AP) (sports.yahoo.com)

Anthony scored 38 points in his return from a one-game suspension for refusing to come out of a game last weekend, and he led the Denver Nuggets past the Portland Trail Blazers 106-90 Thursday night. As promised, Anthony sprinted straight to the bench when Karl sent in a sub this time.
