Melo! Melo! was the chant at the Garden.

Melo played his first game for the New York Knicks last night at the Garden. The place was packed with fans yelling, screaming and chanting Melo! Melo! Fans came in to see the new players: Carmelo Anthony and Chancey Billups. Tickets prices went to the roof, reaching $3,000 per ticket. Craigslist had tickets for $2,700 and resellers were asking for $6,000.The electricity and the enthusiasm that filled the air inside and outside the Garden were something special.
With 9:37 left in the first quarter of last night against the Milwaukee Bucks, Carmelo Anthony picked up his first points as a Knick. A bit rusty after not playing much for the last two weeks, he had trouble making jumpers for most of the game. Could it be that he was also worn out by the festivities of the All Star Weekend?
Anthony had 27 points. He only made 10 of 25 shots.. His clutch baskets in the closing minutes of the game help secure a win for the New york Knicks.
With Amare on the bench after fouling out, Carmelo's presence on the court was golden for the Knicks just because they needed that offensive threat.
Chauncey Billups who came over from Denver also, added 21 points.
