Watch: Melo begs for ball, doesn't get it

This was a bold move from Mindaugas Kuzminskas.

Carmelo Anthony walked right beside the rookie to receive a pass in Friday's game, but Kuzminskas chose instead to whip it to Derrick Rose, who didn't give Anthony a second thought before driving to the basket.

Anthony was right to demand the ball, as he nearly had 30 by the end of three quarters.
