Former Texas A&M star Alex Caruso Shines in NBA Finals with career night and series tied
Former Texas A&M star Alex Caruso Shines in NBA Finals with career night and series tied The NBA Finals feature two former Texas A&M Aggies competing for a championship, and on a career night, Alex Caruso helped tie the series at 1-1 with an impressive playoff performance. Caruso is not typically known for his scoring prowess, but he has built his reputation as a high-energy defender who challenges the league's most elite guards. However, in Game 2, he became the sixth undrafted player in the last decade to score 20+ points in a Finals game. Most of his damage came from beyond the arc, where he shot 4-for-8, tallying 12 points. He was also perfect from the free-throw line, going 4-for-4. Now in his ninth season, Caruso has another chance to earn an NBA championship ring, his first came in 2020 with the Los Angeles Lakers. Since then, he has remained a solid defensive presence, earning NBA All-Defensive First and Second Team honors in 2023 and 2024. A&M fans will have reason to celebrate either way, whether Caruso secures his second ring or Quenton Jackson earns his first. We wish them both the best of luck for the remainder of the series.
