Game 7 Showdown: Which Hidden Heroes Could Rewrite Nuggets-Thunder Playoff History?
That’s part of Holmgren’s importance to this team. When he’s in the dunker’s spot, the Nuggets have to be mindful of lobs or easy finishes inside for him. When it’s Caruso or Wallace, they can help and recover and make those players beat them inside.
But you can’t mention Caruso and Wallace and not talk about their perimeter defense. Their tenacity has allowed the Thunder to stay out of rotation more often than any other team. When the Thunder have their stretches where they look like the best defense in the world, it’s usually Caruso and Wallace leading the charge, helping at the right times, navigating screens, knocking balls loose and being generally nasty.
