If you needed more than 24 hours to come down from the high of that Game 4 finish on Wednesday, you're not alone. That was all-time stuff: a 29-point second-half comeback by the New York Knicks in Madison Square Garden that was close to registering on Richter scales to move within one win of the franchise's first NBA title since 1973. There were heroes. Goats. It was a Shakespearean tragedy unfolding in real time. If you went to bed, shame on you. If you stayed for the end, you know that OG Anunoby made two of the biggest plays of his life with a block on De'Aaron Fox on one end and the game-winning tip on the other to stun the San Antonio Spurs, 107-106, in the largest comeback in NBA Finals history.That wasn't all Anunoby did in Game 4, or in this series overall. Does he have a case for Finals MVP? Absolutely. Will he win it? That's a matter of debate, and it's a tight one.

If the Spurs find a way to extend this series with a win in Game 5 on Saturday, we'll talk about Victor Wembanyama or maybe even Dylan Harper (who's been superb). But until then, with all due respect to Karl-Anthony Towns and his series-best plus-48 point differential, it's currently a two-man MVP race between Anunoby and Jalen Brunson.
