Alex Caruso produced 22 points (5-of-10 FGs, 8-of-8 FTs), two rebounds, six assists, three steals and four three-pointers in Tuesday’s win over the Spurs.

Caruso was one of several OKC players to bounce back from a rough Game 4. He displayed his usual defensive strength by leading the Thunder in steals, but his contributions on the offensive end as both a scorer and a facilitator were also critical, as has been the case for much of the series. The veteran two-time champion has scored at least 15 points and made three triples in all but one game during the Western Conference Finals matchup. He’s rising to the occasion on both ends of the floor and has helped position his team for a closeout game on Thursday.
