Denver Nuggets players, from right, Chauncey Billups(notes), Chris Anderson and Nene listen as referee Dan Crawford explain a foul call during the second half of their NBA basketball game against the Portland Trail Blazers in Portland, Ore., Thursday, Oct. 29, 2009.  Sixty fouls for a total of 90 free throws were called as Denver beat Portland 97-94.

Carmelo Anthony almost couldn't miss and Greg Oden missed when it mattered most. Anthony scored 19 of his 41 points in the fourth quarter and the Denver Nuggets were helped by Portland's trouble at the free-throw line for a 97-94 victory Thursday night. Oden missed a pair of free throws with 4.6 seconds left, squandering a chance for Portland to go ahead.
