Tough one. Wright was great. Kuz had some WTFs, but was pretty solid. Beal shared the ball. But have to go with Rui. Incredibly efficient
In Rizzo we trust

Rui, Kuzma and Wright all had POTG-worthy games. Beal and Gafford were rock solid, but not quite POTG caliber.

I'm going to give it to Rui because it seemed like most of his points came at a time when the rest of the team was in a lull and Orlando was threatening to climb back into the game. But Rui just kept stepping on their throats over and over again, and ultimately just broke their will.

Statistically, there's a real argument for Wright, who played what was pretty much a perfect game.

Gave it to Rui. Anyone else notice that the quarter billion dollar man has only won this most prestigious award once?
Can't say I do. Who else gonna shoot?

Rui just teasing us before he's shipped off somewhere else to be a key contributor...

Wright's outing was amazing, & I couldn't deny him the POTG honor.

But for sure, Kuz or Rui could have won it.
Certainly great to see Rui shoot the ball so well.
