Bruce Bowen stopping Melo Anthony last night.
Melo gets around him, going for the hoop. Bowen graps Anthonys wrist/forearm and clamps on. 'Melo not only can't get the shot off, it spins him around. Not enough to knock him off his feet or anything. It does not injure 'Melo at all. He glares at Bowen for a second, but Bowen keeps holding onto the writst/forearm of Melo well after the play, looks at 'Melo as if to say "I'm just making sure the shot didn't go in while at the same time making sure you didn't get hurt."
Don't know why we can't see more of this in the NBA. So sick of seeing foul, hearing whistle, and then defensive player lets up on offensive player, slacks and allows not only shot attempt but also shot to go in.
2+1 vs two FTAs.
