Andrew Wiggins and Stephen Curry
The Golden State Warriors are one win away from winning their fourth NBA title in the last eight years. The Warriors put on a clinical display, with the entire squad putting in a strong effort despite Stephen Curry‘s struggles. Nonetheless, Andrew Wiggins had the biggest game of his career, and the night belonged to him. In the Finals, Wiggins produced his second consecutive double-double game, shooting 45.8% from the field. Klay Thompson and Jordan Poole both contributed significantly, with the Poole hitting another buzzer-beater from half-court in the Finals.
At the Chase Center, it was a Wiggins show, and he did a fantastic job on both ends of the floor. On the majority of instances, the former ROTY has been able to contain ECF MVP Jayson Tatum. Wiggins silences the doubters who questioned his selection as a starter for the 2022 ASG by doing so. Following Wiggins’ outstanding performance, Fox Sports analyst Skip Bayless sent a cryptic message implying that Stephen Curry will once again be denied the NBA Finals MVP award.
Warriors win Game 5 giving them a 3-2 lead in the NBA Finals.
The Golden State Warriors won Game 5 104-94 to take a 3-2 lead in the series where Andrew Wiggins was the Dubs’ best player on the night, scoring 26 points and grabbing 13 rebounds. Stephen Curry, on the other hand, only scored 16 points on 31.8 percent shooting. He also failed to make a three-pointer in a game for the first time since 2018. Wiggins drove through the lane for a thunderous one-handed slam with 2:10 left to conclude his outstanding effort on both ends of the court. Draymond Green had eight points, eight rebounds and seven assists before fouling out with 3:01 remaining and Klay Thompson produced 21 points with 5 -11 shooting from three point range.
Jayson Tatum led the visitors with 27 points and 10 rebounds, while Marcus Smart scored 20 points after a poor start. The Celtics rallied from a 51-39 halftime deficit in the third quarter with a 35-point explosion. Jaylen Brown started the game 0 for 11, but finished with 18 points on 5-of-18 shooting. He made none of his five three-point attempts, and the Celtics were 11 of 32 from beyond the arc overall.

Skip Bayless picks Andrew Wiggins to win the FMVP over Stephen Curry.
Following the Warriors’ victory, Skip Bayless turned to Twitter to put Andrew Wiggins in the running for Finals MVP. Wiggins has undoubtedly been a key component for the Warriors in the Finals. He’s averaging 18.4 points per game and 9.4 rebounds per game while shooting 45.8% from the floor. His defense has been outstanding, and he has been instrumental in containing Jayson Tatum in this series. Bayless put out the following tweet stating:
The Finals MVP trophy is the only available trophy lacking from Stephen Curry’s trophy collection. In 2015, he came close to winning it, but Andre Iguodala was chosen ahead of him. Curry had just won the league MVP award, and there were high hopes for him to do so again in the Finals. Against LeBron James and the Cavs, the Warriors guard averaged 26.0 points, 6.3 assists, 5.2 rebounds, and 1.8 steals per game. Due to his defensive excellence on Lebron James, Iguodala ended up winning the Finals MVP, much to the surprise of many.
