The morning after losing Game 3 to the Denver Nuggets, Oklahoma City Thunder guard Alex Caruso shared his honest take on his team’s shortcomings, facing a 2-1 deficit for the first time in the postseason.

If anybody on the Thunder knows about the volatile ups and downs of the NBA playoffs, it's Alex Caruso. The 31-year-old is the sole NBA champion on OKC's roster when he won a ring with the Los Angeles Lakers in 2020. He talked up the 2-1 deficit and said he loves the challenges that come at this point of the year.

The Oklahoma City picked up a series-tying Game 4 victory against the Denver Nuggets on Sunday afternoon, using a strong fourth quarter for a 92-87 win. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored a team-best 25 points to lead OKC to a much-needed win, and the Thunder outscored the Nuggets 29-18 in the fourth quarter.
