OKC Thunder teammate praises Jared McCain for his attitude and energy
After an important Game 2 victory against the San Antonio Spurs, Alex Caruso praised Jared McCain for his energy and personality.
Former Duke Blue Devil Jared McCain helped propel the Thunder to another playoff win Wednesday night, despite posting inefficient shooting numbers. McCain finished the night with 12 points, six rebounds and three assists on 4-for-14 shooting from the field. Oklahoma City still prevailed, winning 122-113 and tying the series at one in the process.
Following the game, one of McCain's teammates, two-time NBA champion Alex Caruso, spoke on McCain's positive impact since being acquired prior to the February trade deadline. "Jared's been enlightening for us as a team. He's one of those guys who has endless energy every day.
Smiling, joking, and that translates to his play, constantly moving. " Off the bench, McCain has turned into an integral part of Mark Daigneault's rotation as a consistent shooter and scorer. Now tied up 1-1, the series will shift back to San Antonio for Game 3 Friday.
