Use Caruso to defend Jokic? Degenot: His personal defense is very good, and we pay great attention to strength

The second round of tiebreak was reported on May 19, and the Thunder defeated the Nuggets 125-93 at home, and advanced to the Western Conference Finals 4-3 with a big score!
Caruso played for 26 minutes in this game, made 5 of 7 shots, 1 of 3 three-pointers, scored 11 points, 3 assists and 3 steals, with a plus-minus value + 40 highest in the game.
In the second half, he started against Jokic to use a candy defense, allowing the latter to only make one shot in a single quarter, and the Thunder directly threw the game into garbage time.
In response, Thunder coach Dagnot said in a post-match interview: "The reason why the defensive intensity is so high today is because we attach great importance to it. He has done a great job in personal defense. If you let a 6-foot-5 defender defend such a player, you need to continue to assist and put pressure on the passing route. It all complements each other."
