(Newser) – Carmelo Anthony scored 36 points, Allen Iverson added 21 points, seven rebounds and nine assists, and the Denver Nuggets routed the Los Angeles Clippers 117-99 Tuesday night to keep pace in the Western Conference playoff race. Linus Kleiza added 15 points, Marcus Camby had 13 points and 18 rebounds, and J.R. Smith scored 10 points for the Nuggets (47-31).
