The worst battle in the playoffs so far! How can the Thunder Super Gate bend be lost?

In the previous NBA playoff Western Conference Finals G3, the Minnesota Timberwolves, who returned to their home court, easily defeated the Oklahoma City Thunder 143-101. After this game, the Timberwolves also chased the total score of the series to 1-2, and it seems that this round of series still has a lot of suspense.

In this game, Alex Caruso, the Thunder outside gate, who had performed very well during the playoffs, also showed a significant decline. Caruso played 9 minutes and 44 seconds in the game, made 1 of 5 shots and 1 of 3 shots from outside the three-point line, only scored 3 points, and had 2 fouls, with a plus-negative value of -16. Caruso had no touch on the offensive end in this game, and his scoring ability and shooting ability were not displayed. His performance in passing and organizing offense was also very disappointing. The most important thing is that Caruso actually did not have a good effect on the defensive end. Caruso, who had previously seemed to be both offensive and defensive during the entire playoffs, can be said to have dragged the team down on both offense and defense in this game, and the team's situation was not ideal when he was on the court. It is also because his performance failed to meet expectations, and the game lost its suspense early, and Caruso's playing time in this game was also very limited.

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 14 games, with averaging 8.8 points, 2.3 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.6 steals, and 0.5 blocks, 0.7 turnovers and 2.4 fouls, shooting percentage of 46.3%, three-point shooting percentage of 43.9%, and free throw shooting percentage of 66.7%.

Caruso's performance during the playoffs can be said to be phenomenal. His offensive efficiency is quite outstanding, his scoring ability is quite amazing, and his contribution on the offensive end is obvious to all. He is a very reliable scorer, and at some times he can also undertake some tasks in passing and organizing offense. Caruso's value on the defensive end cannot be ignored. He is also the top defender in the league, and his influence on the game on the defensive end is also very outstanding. Caruso has excellent results on the court, and he is also a key factor in the Thunder's ability to pass the hurdles and take the lead in the Western Conference Finals. As a result, in this game, Caruso played the worst battle in the playoffs so far. I don’t know if he can make a breakthrough in G4.
