Syracuse signee Kiyan Anthony and his teammates Dylan and Kayden Mingo helped lead Long Island Lutheran to a 68-52 win over Orangeville at the La Porte Invitational on Saturday. Anthony's father, 10-time NBA All-Star Carmelo Anthony, was also present at the game.

Famous basketball page MADE Hoops took to Instagram to share highlights of the game that saw the trio of Anthony and the Mingo brothers go off as they dominated the Orangeville defense:

Penn State signee Kayden Mingo had 12 points on 66.6% shooting, including 60.0% from the 3-point line in 26 minutes. Meanwhile, his brother, Dylan Mingo scored 16 points on 50.0% shooting, including 40.0% from beyond the arc in 19 minutes for LuHi.

Kiyan Anthony, who played his second game after a month-long injury finished with six points, one assist, one steal and one rebound in 23 minutes. MJ Madison and Nigel James also finished with double-digit points; Maddison scored 11 points on 57.1% shooting while James had 10 points on 50.0% shooting.

The Mingo brothers have been essential for LuHi. During the match against Westminster Academy at the City of Palms Classic on Dec. 21, both Kayden and Dylan Mingo stepped up in the absence of Anthony to lead their team to a 74-47 win. Dylan scored 21 points and grabbed 4 rebounds while Kayden had 15 points and 6 rebounds.


Kiyan Anthony talks about handling pressure

Being the son of a 10-time NBA All-Star puts plenty of spotlight on a player like Kiyan Anthony. The 6-foot-5 shooting guard appeared on "The Program NYC" podcast and talked about handling pressure in an Instagram video uploaded on Dec. 26:

"We went to embrace it. At first it was a lot going out there not really knowing whether I was gonna perform or not, having a lot of eyes on me just because of my name. So, as I got older, I started to embrace it (pressure) everywhere I go, every park, every AAU tournament, there's gonna be a lot of eyes on me," Anthony said.

Kiyan Anthony will be joined by Sadiq White, Luke Fennell and Aaron Womack at Adrian Autry's Syracuse next season.
