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.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and the Oklahoma City Thunder will face Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets in Game 3 of the second round of the NBA Playoffs.

With the series split 1-1, the action now shifts to Denver for Game 3 on Friday.
