"What a playoffs for OG Anunoby. He is averaging 21 points and six rebounds. Here's his playoff shooting splits: 58% shooting, 51% on threes, 64% on twos," said Lowe.
"In the finals, he is averaging 24 points a game on 58% shooting and 57% on threes, and despite averaging five and a half points less than Jalen Brunson and three and change assists less than Jalen Brunson, and Jalen Brunson having big moments in Games 1 and 2 in San Antonio , I think the Finals MVP right now would be OG Anunoby with a bullet."
The Knicks will look to clinch a title on the road against the Spurs in Game 5 on Saturday.
