Just from the box score, the good news is
- 3J leading in points (and minutes) and tied for boards on 4-7 shooting, with his man held to a modest 2-5;
- Melo with 3 boards and 2 blocks in 11 minutes, with at -4 the only single digit "-" of the last two years' rookies;
- Christmas still plugging along, with 2-3 shooting, 4 boards, 2 assts and a steal; and,
- EM actually giving as many shot opportunities to 3J as to himself, at 8 apiece.
