DENVER -- They've manhandled the Lakers twice. They're 2-0 against Cleveland. They've slayed Orlando and Boston.

CLEVELAND – Carmelo Anthony and LeBron James entered the NBA together.

Thursday night they played a game worthy of the first and third overall picks of the 2003 draft. It wasn't quite 'can you top this,' but it was close, as James and Anthony both topped 40 points and made big shot after big shot in the Denver Nuggets' two-point overtime win.

Chauncey Billups Named to All-Star Team

DENVER -- Piper Billups will have to share her husband next week.

While walking out of the Pepsi Center after Wednesday morning's shootaround, Denver Nuggets guard Chauncey Billups joked his wife wouldn't mind if he wasn't chosen as an All-Star injury replacement because his family has scheduled a vacation All-Star Weekend to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.

Karl Says Billups Should Be an All-Star

DENVER -- Perhaps Denver Nuggets coach George Karl will recommend to the NBA office some game film be watched.
