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.

I agree. Bowen had success on Melo when someone gave him help(ex. the Robert Horry block). Not sure why Pop would have Finley just go head up with Melo but Melo's a star. He's going to get his. I would've atleast made him beat us passing out the double team.
