Chronicling Carmelo’s Game-Winners

(Boulder-CO) After last night’s ninth career game-winning shot, I felt it was time to refresh everyone’s memory on Carmelo’s late game heroics. Here are all nine of ‘Melo’s clutch shots that put the Nuggets over the top. Rank them, remember them, or just marvel at one of the most crucial players in the clutch.

This list includes opponent, number of overtimes, date, what kind of shot it was, and how much time was left after ‘Melo put the Nuggets on top for the win! The video below shows some of 'Melo's most stoic moments, but not all of them.
