How can Nikola Jokic be expected to cook up a dynasty if he keeps running out of gas?
Alex Caruso plays basketball like he’s trying to score a $50,000 bonus from Dana White. That said, the Nuggets probably could use, at minimum, two of him. Or two more of something relatively close to him if they’re to get the Joker another title in Denver before the horse is out of the barn.
“Alex did a great job,” interim Nuggets coach David Adelman said of Caruso, who attached himself to Jokic’s hip in the paint, scored 11 points, collected three steals and put up a ridiculous plus-40 in the plus/minus column during the Thunder’s blowout victory in Game 7.
