CC#5: Carmelo Anthony scores 45 Points As Knicks Edge Net

In a current article by the Los Angeles Times, a newspaper published in Los Angeles, California, entitled "Carmelo Anthony scores 45 Points As Knicks Edge Net," the Los Angeles Times narrates 1)  a historical basketball game 2) a great game for Carmelo Anthony and 3) the rivalry between the two teams.

"...Jason Kidd made the tiebreaking three-pointer with 24 seconds left, and the New York Knicks rallied from an early 17-point hole to beat the Brooklyn Nets, 100-97..."  In the NBA, not many basketball games become this crucial.  Usually, teams get beat by a fair amount; in a situation like that, the game is still close, fighting for the win.

"Carmelo Anthony scored a season-high 45 points..."  NBA players rarely score over for 40 points in a game.  Since Carmelo scored 45 points and helped the team rally from a loosing deficit, everybody could agree that Carmelo Anthony had a spectacular game.

"Now the series is tied at 1-1 since the Nets moved to Brooklyn, both games coming down to the tense final minutes."  Both of the teams are New York-based. The New York Knicks and the Brooklyn Nets are basically competing to be the best team in the state..

I can become an active participant in my learning by learning more about history created by individuals like Carmelo and groups like the Knicks. I can take responsibility for my learning by keeping an update on history created by such people that do not intend to create history.

The Los Angeles Times simply narratates how Tuesday's game was special because of the competition and fight these two teams contain.
