Tar Heels in NBA: Cole Anthony caps rookie season with huge game; six Tar Heels in playoffs

Posted May 17, 2021
Half of the 12 Tar Heels in the NBA are going to the playoffs but one who isn’t, Orlando’s Cole Anthony, ended his rookie season with a flurry. Anthony scored 23 of his season-high 37 points in the first half Sunday night. After the game, Anthony was focused more on the 128–117 loss to the 76ers and what he could have done better than his point total. (Tar Heel Tribune)
