Just a bad decision by Pop.

Hell didn't Carmelo have 20 by the 3rd? I wasn't really keeping up with the game I was just sort of catching it while other shows were on commercial but it seemed Bowen made Carmelo work but it did nothing to prevent the outcome. I remember even the announcers were saying Pop is sitting Bowen to the 5 minute mark in the 4th quarter but he never came back in. Unless he was hurt I don't know if I understand Pop's decision there unless he was thinking offense and free throws.
