This is easliy Carmelo's strongest playoff performance in his young career - he's averaging 27PPG on 48% shooting (and 45% from three-point range) with 6.4 rebounds and 4.3 assists. He hit the game winner against Dallas in Game 3 and he's stepped up in nearly every 4th quarter in the playoffs where the game was still close. He has not been afraid to defend the other team's star, and did an admirable job on Nowitzki at times - no easy task.
