From the beginning of the game, they showed strong defense, forced their opponents to make turnovers, and performed well in the pick-and-roll. Alex Crusoe was the same. Always played well, and SGA, the best player in the league, took over the game and proved why he is the MVP. He stepped up in critical moments and his teammates completely trusted him.
