While Shai Gilgeous-Alexander starred down the stretch, it took a total team effort for the Oklahoma City Thunder to win Game 4. The MVP scored 15 of his team's last 16 points in the fourth quarter, but up to that point everybody chipped in. Including Alex Caruso, who had 20 points off the bench for the Thunder on 7-of-9 shooting to pair with his typically stellar defense.
It marks Caruso's second 20-point game of these Finals. He scored 20 in Game 2's win as well. If that feels unusual for Caruso, it is; the guard averaged 7.1 points per game this season. As it turns out, his increased output in the Finals with everything on the line has reached historic levels.
