Report: Carmelo Anthony Has Outburst Outside Of Celtics Locker Room, Waited Outside By Bus

After losing to the Boston Celtics at home 102-96 and putting on one of his worst shooting performances of the season at  6-for-26, Carmelo Anthony took his frustrations to the locker room.  According to multiple reports, Melo left the court without shaking hands or staying for the Knicks team huddle and went straight towards the Celtics locker room where he waited and was was reportedly “shouting” at players before coaches had to get involved.  Doc Rivers said post game that he would not tattle on Melo and Mike Woodson declined comment.  One thing is certain, Carmelo and KG had been jawing all game long and both received technicals at the boiling point.

Carmelo did run back to the Celtics locker room and was screaming at #celtics players but there was no altercation

Carmelo walks off the floor in a hurry after Knicks loss, doesn’t hang around for team huddle or to shake hands with any Celtics. #Knicks
