#3 Game-Winner on Easter - 8th April 2012 vs the Chicago Bulls
Stat line: 43 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal and 1 block on 51.6% shooting [CLUTCH!]
This was arguably one of Anthony's greatest clutch performances ever, let alone at the Madison Square Garden or as a member of the Knicks. Once again, this came against a formidable squad - the East-leading Chicago Bulls in the 2011-12 season on an Easter Sunday in New York.

Melo didn't hit just one, he hit two clutch shots in this game - the first to tie the scores up at 91 with 11.2 seconds to go and force overtime while the second turned out to be game-winner (Derrick Rose missed a possible game-winner) in overtime with 8.2 seconds to go.
Melo didn't have a lot of other contributions in the game - 7 rebounds and 3 assists - but when you put up these many points at an efficiency of 51.6%, nothing else matters. More importantly, 17 of Anthony's 43 points came in the fourth quarter and overtime.
