Alex Caruso has emerged as a candidate for Western Conference Finals MVP after the Oklahoma City Thunder took a 3-2 series lead over the San Antonio Spurs.
Caruso's impact stands out in the series. The Thunder hold a plus-42 point differential with him on the floor and a minus-33 when he is off. He has made 18 of 31 three-point attempts while defending multiple San Antonio starters including Victor Wembanyama, Stephon Castle, Dylan Harper, De'Aaron Fox and Devin Vassell, all of whom are shooting below 50 percent against him in those matchups.
