That's what no one wants to talk about. Bowen was getting lit up too but Finley had no weak side help sliding over most the time. If they set a screen no one was jumping out either.
Finley came in at the 8:45 mark and Melo draws a foul at 8:37 (2ft's good). He does so again at the 7:28 (both ft's good). He hits a 18ft jumper at 6:54 and another 21ft jumper at 4:54. He misses a layup with 1:20 left but the game is already over.
8pts out of 32 total for Melo on 2-3 (fg), 4-4 (ft). Bowen guarded Melo most the night with the exception of a few spots when Finley and Barry had to cover him. He ended up shooting 13-23 with 32 points but it was only Finley who got lit up.
