Camby's Remarkable 5x5
On January 9, 2004, Marcus Camby filled the box score with one of
the most unusual defensive performances of his career. The Denver
center recorded a 5x5 while helping the Nuggets defeat the Utah
Jazz 106-96 at the Pepsi Center in Denver.
Camby finished with 8 points, 11 rebounds, 5 assists, 5 steals
and 8 blocked shots in 33 minutes. He shot 4-of-10 from the field
and remarkably did not commit a turnover despite contributing
five assists.
The performance easily met the requirements for a 5x5, which
requires a player to record at least five points, five rebounds,
five assists, five steals and five blocks in the same game.
Camby's eight blocks were particularly impressive and helped
Denver finish with 11 blocked shots as a team.
Camby was not Denver's leading scorer, but his defense and
all-around production were crucial. Carmelo Anthony scored
27 points, Nenê added 25 and Andre Miller finished with
18 points and 7 assists as Denver earned the 10-point victory.
