If anybody on the Thunder knows about the volatile ups and downs of the NBA playoffs, it's Alex Caruso. The 31-year-old is the sole NBA champion on OKC's roster when he won a ring with the Los Angeles Lakers in 2020. He talked up the 2-1 deficit and said he loves the challenges that come at this point of the year.

In one of the most stunning endings in an NBA Playoff game in recent memory, the Denver Nuggets came away with a shocking come-from-behind 121-119 victory in Game 1 of their second-round series against the Oklahoma City Thunder Monday night.

With his performance thus far, Caruso has made NBA playoff history while also coming up big down the stretch on both ends of the court for the Thunder. In Monday’s game, Caruso became the first player in NBA playoff history to record two or more blocks, three or more steals and knock down five or more three-pointers in a playoff game.
