On June 14, in the NBA Finals G4, the Thunder defeated the Pacers 111-104 away, tied the series with a big score of 2-2. The Thunder were in a passive situation in the first three quarters of this game, and was once 10 points behind. However, in the last quarter, Alexander led the team to counterattack and scored points in the last moment to help the team turn the situation around, and finally won the game.

Alexander became the key to the team's winning game. He scored 15 points in the last 5 minutes, helping the team turn the situation around and finally win. Alexander scored a game-high 35 points, 10 of 10 free throws, but the plus or negative value +0, which means he tied with the Pacers when he was on the court. Caruso on the bench still plays an important role, and this time he has transformed into a super surprise, just like Matherin of the Pacers in the last game.

Caruso is still a substitute, and coach Dagnott's change of teams in this game only lets Harten enter the starting lineup, not Caruso. Caruso, who came from the bench, also showed his energy. Facing the space given to him by the Pacers, he could always grasp it and constantly hit the inside to get points. He played for 30 minutes in the game, made 7 of 9 shots, 1 of 2 three-pointers, scored 20 points, 3 rebounds and 5 steals, and the team tied for first place with plus or negative value +14.

This is the contribution Caruso has brought in this game and the key to the team's ability to counterattack. He also made three miracles in this game, becoming the first player in the history of the finals to score 20 points and 5 steals; he is also the second player in the history of the finals to have at least 20 points and 5 steals in a single game, and his shooting percentage is as high as 75%. He scored 20+ points in 0 games in the regular season, but he has scored 20+ points in 2 games in the finals, which is also the first player in history to have done it. Often, they are regular season players, but they didn’t expect Caruso to be a final player.

This former Lakers player also made them regret it. They gave up Caruso for Horton Tucker. Now, when the Lakers media see Caruso's highlight performance, they will mock the low-level operations of the Lakers management. Caruso has now become an indispensable part of the Thunder, and has made outstanding contributions to both offense and defense. Without him, the Thunder is a team of two levels, which also makes many Lakers reporters miss it very much.
