Thunder’s Game 7 Masterclass: How They Outplayed Nuggets When It Mattered Most
When the Nuggets couldn’t capitalize against a small lineup, the Thunder looked to have the upper hand. And then came the end-of-quarter run, which Caruso was, of course, a part of as well with a key steal.
The Thunder traded Josh Giddey for Caruso in the offseason with this exact game in mind. Giddey had some good moments this season, but the Thunder needed a player who could make winning plays without the ball. A player who took nothing off the table on either end but accepted a limited offensive role. A difference maker of a different kind who made the team’s strengths and weaknesses stronger. They needed Caruso.
