On June 14, in the NBA Finals, the Thunder defeated the Pacers 111-104 and equalized 2-2 with a big score. In this game, Alex Caruso became the most dazzling light on the Thunder's bench. He not only scored 20 points, but also had 5 steals and 1 block. It can be said that he has both offense and defense and has no weaknesses. OKC's home advantage is his super hero.
Caruso may be the best one in the Thunder's outside defense. The Thunder made great contributions to crossing the Nuggets Caruso in the tiebreak. He can defend Jokic with a size of 1.96 meters. In this round of series, Caruso also made a series of steals. In the second quarter, Caruso steals a one-stop counterattack and was also maliciously fouled by Toddie's first-level malicious foul. In the first half, Caruso had 11 points and 4 steals.
Caruso had an argument with Siakam in the third quarter. Siaka felt that Caruso had already committed a foul when he was on the defense line, but Caruso thought it was a normal move, so Foster came to separate the two. The Thunder fell behind to 8 points and made a key three-pointer. Caruso made 2 of 2 shots in a single quarter and scored 6 points and 1 rebound. After playing in the third quarter, Caruso had 17 points, 4 steals and 2 rebounds.
Caruso once again made a buzzer-beater shot in the last quarter, and then Caruso steals an empty cut and creates a foul at the basket to help the Thunder equalize the score difference. Caruso played 9 minutes in the last quarter and scored 3 points, 1 rebound, 1 steal and 1 block, which was excellent.
Caruso made 30 minutes in the whole game, scored 7 of 9 + 1 of 2 three-pointers, scored 20 points, 3 rebounds, 0 assists, 5 steals and 1 block. He is the second player in history to score 20+5 steals and 75% of the shooting percentage in the finals. He is also the first player in NBA history to have a substitute of 20 points + 5 steals.
Meiji Evan Steeley: Caruso averaged 14.8 points, 4.3 rebounds and 2.5 steals in the finals, with a real shooting percentage of 72.1%, and a three-point shooting percentage of 50%. He is the unsung hero of the Thunder.
