Going up against the reigning Eastern Conference Champions, Melo put on an absolute clinic which doesn't get recognized because his teammates/organization failed him (sound familiar?)

Chauncey Billups didn't play due to an injury and Amar'e Stoudemire left the game after just 17 minutes with back spasms and did not return

So, # 7 went to war against

- Kevin Garnett
- Paul Pierce
- Ray Allen
- Rajon Rondo

with

- Toney Douglas (5/16 FGs, 2 ASTs)
- Bill Walker (0/11 FGs)
- Ronny Turiaf (1/3 FGs, 3 REBs)
- Shawne Williams (1/3 FGs)
- Jared Jeffries (Jared Jeffries)

This dude Melo went on to single-handedly carry the team by leading the Knicks in points, threes, rebounds, assists and blocks

Ultimately, they were on the road against the Celtics with an opportunity to steal Game 2 thanks to Melo's efforts

Melo got double teamed on the final possession and passed it to Jared Jeffries who blew an opportunity to put the Knicks ahead with just seconds remaining

The Knicks didn't get the win that game, they didn't win the series but this performance should NOT be forgotten anytime soon #STAYME7O
