Tar Heels in NBA: Anthony's monster dunk; Ellington hits cold streak; Little out with knee strain

Posted Feb 3, 2021
Cole Anthony scored 16 points for the second straight game but his play that will get the most attention was his highlight-reel dunk. Wayne Ellington has struggled with his shot in the last two games after his streak of at least four 3-pointers in a game ended at seven. After scoring 30 points on Monday, Nassir Little sat out Tuesday with a knee strain. (Tar Heel Tribune)
