Chet Holmgren Humorously Defends Alex Caruso From NBA Media After NBA Finals Record

How would you describe Alex Caruso’s energy levels at 30 years old? The NBA media tried asking that during the post-game, and Chet Holmgren wasn’t having any of it. “Don’t disrespect our GOAT like that, man,” Chet shot back with a grin. “He’s one of those guys who you know is going to bring it every single night, whether he’s 22 or 30.”

And honestly, who could argue after Game 2? Caruso was everywhere—diving for loose balls, locking up Indiana’s guards, setting screens like a fullback, and even snagging 20 points, 3 rebounds, and 1 assist. Thirty going on 20, apparently. His defensive energy helped flip the momentum early for OKC, who came out exploding in a 123-107 bounce-back win to even the series 1-1.

But what’s even better is that Caruso and Aaron Wiggins combined for 38 on 12-for-22 shooting, a historic NBA mark matched by just four more duos before in 50 freakin’ years! And while Chet may have delivered the punchline, Caruso’s game did all the talking. The guy’s basically a Red Bull in sneakers. What’s next for this GOAT? Come back here to find out!
