Caruso has been hurt and in and out of the lineup, he's still an elite defender to add to what OKC has, but The Bulls took off when they moved Giddey to SF. He has the length (6'8) to play it, with Ball at the point they always have two ball handlers and playmakers in the lineup and White has been lights out.
On the other hand, OKC has plenty of creation and scoring and Giddey was the guy that was targeted on defense and a guy that was left wide open on offense. Opponents might still gamble and leave Caruso open, but he is definitely a great defensive upgrade. I think there is a huge difference between PO and regular season games. Its not like Bulls had a great season, despite their nice stretch lately.
Lakers were on 2nd night of a B2B and they were better for most of the game. Bulls shot 11 of 14 from three in the fourth quarter and scored 44 points. Historical ending with 3 three pointers in 12 seconds, including game winning halfcourt shot. Great game to watch, even with a heartbreaking ending.
