As the lone player on the Thunder roster to have a championship before June, Alex Caruso talked about the behind-the-scenes of their voyage to the mountaintop. The 31-year-old appeared on the "Dan Patrick Show" to discuss his first season in OKC and how he played a vital role in its playoff run.

Caruso played a season-high 33 minutes off the bench and finished with 10 points, two steals and two rebounds. His defensive intensity and timely buckets were crucial in OKC's 128-126 road win, which gave the team a 3-1 series lead.
