Through four games, it's not only even on games but has a composite score that separates these sides by one measly point, 422-421.

Summing up this situation, the Athletic reporter John Hollinger expressed his strong opinion on who should be the Finals MVP.

"Steph Curry should be the NBA Finals MVP, win or lose. He's been that much better than everyone else. A losing player hasn't won the award since Jerry West in 1969, but it's hard to imagine a clearer case for breaking that half-century of tradition, "he pointed out.

The Celtics haven't broken the Curry code yet this series; he has 137 points in 148 minutes while making half of his shots (and his 3s).

Game 5 in the best-of-seven series is on Monday in San Francisco.
