Alex Caruso Explodes for 31 Points in Double-Overtime Defeat

Alex Caruso provided a massive offensive spark in Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals, scoring 31 points—the second-most of his career—in a 122-115 loss to the Spurs. Caruso shot 11-of-19 from the field, including 8-of-14 from three-point range, while adding two rebounds, two steals, two blocks, and one assist in 32 minutes. Despite his heroic effort to carry the Thunder while the MVP was bottled up, his performance was not enough to overcome San Antonio.
