With his performance thus far, Caruso has made NBA playoff history while also coming up big down the stretch on both ends of the court for the Thunder. In Monday’s game, Caruso became the first player in NBA playoff history to record two or more blocks, three or more steals and knock down five or more three-pointers in a playoff game.

The Oklahoma City Thunder suffered a shocker in a 121-119 Game 1 loss to the Denver Nuggets on Monday. They start their Round 2 series in a 0-1 series deficit.

Thunder veteran Alex Caruso says his team is up for the challenge against MVP Nikola Jokic and the Nuggets.
