What happened: Brian Windhorst and Chiney Ogwumike analyzed the performance of Dylan Harper during the NBA Finals on SportsCenter. The Spurs rookie has become a focal point of the series as San Antonio looks to overcome a 2-1 deficit against the Knicks.
Why it matters: Harper has provided San Antonio with critical scoring and rebounding depth, notably setting a record in Game 1 as the youngest player to score 15 or more points in a Finals game. His defensive versatility has been essential in keeping the Spurs competitive against a veteran New York backcourt through the first three games.
By the numbers: Finals Averages: 14.7 PPG, 7.7 RPG, 2.7 APG; Game 1 Record: 16 points (youngest in Finals history); Series Score: Knicks 2, Spurs 1.
What to watch: Game 4 tips off tonight at Madison Square Garden, where the Spurs will attempt to even the series before heading back to San Antonio.
