The Oklahoma City Thunder became the comeback kings on Friday night, rallying back to beat the Indiana Pacers 111-104 in Game 4 of the NBA Finals.
Although Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored the most for his Thunder, other shining stars helped make success possible.
One of them was Alex Caruso, who had a downright historic performance.
As noted by NBA on ESPN, Caruso became the first player in NBA history to have two 20-point games in an NBA Finals after having zero in the regular season.

Caruso posted 20 points, three rebounds, five steals, and a block during Friday’s game.
He was all over the court for his entire 30 minutes in the game.
Once again, Caruso showed what a smart acquisition he was last summer.
With his offensive power, his defensive greatness, and his experience, Caruso has it all for the Thunder.
Caruso wasn’t the only great player during the game outside of Gilgeous-Alexander.
Jalen Williams and Chet Holmgren were huge helps, too, and a number of bench players had important moments.
The entire team was looking good, even though the Pacers held an advantage for much of the game.
The series is now tied 2-2, and it is headed back to Oklahoma City.
The Pacers were able to steal a win in OKC before, but can they do it again?
That is a tough challenge, especially since the Thunder’s moralizing win on Friday.
They now have the wind back in their sails and believe they can carry that momentum into Game 5.
What will Caruso do, and how will his Thunder perform?
Could they take one step closer to a championship?
