Rookie guard Dylan Harper scored 21 points and dished 3 assists through three quarters of Game 5 of the NBA Finals, emerging as the Spurs' breakout performer. Harper’s scoring, playmaking and defense punctuated the series, including a momentum-shifting block on Jordan Clarkson and frequent late-possession creation. While Jalen Brunson poured in 30 points in Game 5 and Victor Wembanyama contributed 16 points and 5 blocks, Harper’s Finals breakout as a rookie gives the Spurs a youthful building block and forces opposing teams to rethink their rotations.
