The league s top 3D outside gate! Maybe only the Lakers think that his asking price is too high, right?

In the previous NBA Western Conference semi-finals G5, the Oklahoma City Thunder played at home and made a strong effort in the final quarter, defeating the Denver Nuggets 112-105, winning this key battle at Kings Mountain. After this game, the Thunder widened the total score of this series to 3-2, not only gaining the advantage but also getting the match point; while the Nuggets will face a desperate battle in the series G6.

In this game, the performance of the Thunder's substitute outside gate Alex Caruso is worthy of recognition. Caruso played 23 minutes and 51 seconds in the whole game, made 4 of 10 shots, 3 of 6 from outside the three-point line, and 2 of 3 free throws, and scored 13 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists. He also made 2 mistakes, with a plus-minus value of -4. Caruso also showed good outside shooting ability on the offensive end and grabbed a few phones and got a lot of points. His three-pointers were all key, and each of them helped the team stabilize the situation. Not only that, Caruso also has certain passing abilities, and his offensive functions are very comprehensive. Caruso's performance on the defensive end is impressive. Almost all the Nuggets' outside players are inaccurate, which is closely related to his strong personal defensive ability. There is no doubt that Caruso's series of outstanding performances have also made a huge contribution to the team's key victory.

In the NBA regular season this season, Caruso played 54 games in 82 games, averaging 19.3 minutes per game, averaging 7.1 points, 2.9 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 1.6 steals, 0.6 blocks, and 0.7 turnovers and 1.9 fouls. His shooting percentage was 44.6%, a three-point shooting percentage of 35.3%, and a free throw shooting percentage of 82.4%. In the playoffs, Caruso averaged 21.6 minutes in the first nine games, with averaging 9 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists, 1.7 steals and 0.7 blocks, 0.8 turnovers and 1.7 fouls, shooting percentage of 42.9%, three-point shooting percentage of 42.5%, and free throw shooting percentage of 66.7%.

Caruso's performance in the playoffs has improved significantly compared to the regular season. His three-point shooting percentage is quite reliable, and his contribution on the offensive end is also beyond expectations. The most important thing is that his contribution to the defensive end is really amazing, and his top personal defensive ability supports the team too much. Especially in this round of the series, Caruso's playing time has also begun to increase, which also shows that the team has also realized his value on the court in such a high-intensity game. I have to say that Caruso is really an indispensable and important rotation player for a championship-level team. Perhaps only the Los Angeles Lakers uniform team will think that his salary is too expensive, right?
