Melo was AWFUL, capital A, AWWWWWWWFFFFFFFULLLLLLLLLLLLLL for 3 quarters. He came through in the 4th. But you're not being honest here. His defense was abysmal. He was effective in the 4th and did contribute to the win. But he was a far cry from "awesome."
He didn't get off to a great start shooting wise but he got it going well before the 4th quarter. And he was leading the team in +/- for most of the evening.
Single game +/- is less than useless. I like Melo, I thought he was "okay" tonight. But honestly, his defense was abysmal, and he wasn't providing any positive value until the 4th quarter.
