After a Game 7 defensive show, Caruso will more than likely see his fair share against Anthony Edwards and Julius Randle.

It was looking close for a moment, but the Oklahoma City Thunder walked away with a strong win over the Minnesota Timberwolves on Tuesday night, securing a 114-88 victory in Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals.

Alex Caruso plays basketball like he’s trying to score a $50,000 bonus from Dana White. That said, the Nuggets probably could use, at minimum, two of him. Or two more of something relatively close to him if they’re to get the Joker another title in Denver before the horse is out of the barn.
