Alex Caruso provided 27 huge minutes off the bench for the Oklahoma City Thunder on Sunday night as they leveled up the NBA Finals against the Indiana Pacers. The veteran guard, who won a title in the bubble with the Los Angeles Lakers back in 2020, had 20 points as OKC was able to build an insurmountable lead—even for Tyrese Haliburton.

After the game, Caruso was asked about being back on basketball's biggest stage. And it turns out it's creating many interesting run-ins with those who want to congratulate him on the journey to this point.
