Alex Caruso's defensive impact against the Clippers
How Caruso and company held Paul George to 7-of-25 shooting
The Bulls had a stellar defensive performance against the Clippers, holding them to only 90 points. Paul George is the NBA’s fourth-leading scorer and he did get 27 points, but he shot just 7-of-25 with three turnovers to get to that mark.
Alex Caruso got the surprise start in this game, which I had been clamoring for. He was awesome on George, and I wanted to make another video to highlight what exactly impressed me about Caruso in this game.

One thing I like about Caruso is how he commits to his double teams. Too often the doubler helping off a man in the corner is tentative, which can allow the ballhandler to get the ball over for an uncontested corner 3. If helper is going to leave the corner man, you've got to come full bore, to make that pass very difficult. I also love how Caruso always moves his feet.
