I give it to Exum. Well deserved.
Feel a little dirty not giving it to Luka though. While Exum made the shots, Luka was the one who made everything run. I loved putting Luka at the Dirk spot and making the defenses pick their poison. It is a much better spot than being 28 feet from the basket and taking step back threes. Could this be our end of the game closing play? While Exum hit the shots, I think Kyrie is in the spot when healthy. So you have Luka at the Free throw line with a spread floor. Lively at the rim. If no on doubles Luka he uses his strength and height to take 10 foot shots. If they double it leaves a good shooter open. Lively is there to look for the lob or crash the board.
