Alex Caruso provided some clutch bench minutes for the Oklahoma City Thunder in their Game 7 rout over the Denver Nuggets, scoring 11 points and posting an eye-popping +40. Most astounding was his suffocating defense on Nikola Jokic, which proved to be season-ending in its nature. His excellence did not stop at the final whistle as he and Chet Holmgren were ushered into the media room postgame where they shared some memorable lines, including Caruso addressing his mindset headed into the winner-take-all game.
The way he sees it, being nervy befoe a Game 7 is a sign of being alive. And well-adjusted.
