I guess Kane gets the MVP because his team actually won a medal?

Yeah, that tends to be how things go with tournament and playoff MVPs. Goes to the MVP for the winning team, unless in rare cases somebody from the other finalist drug the rest of their team kicking and screaming to the final. If you're not even in the final, you're not even in consideration.

I'm not sure, but I believe they usually name the awards before the final game. The press etc tend to be busy right afterwards, and it's among the celebrations when the awards are announced.
