A tactician on the defensive end of the floor and a marksman on the other, Alex Caruso has mastered how to play to his strengths.

With the game on the line and the Chase Center pumping, watch for Klay Thompson. An ever-present threat with or without the ball in his hands, the Golden State Warriors wing bides his time while teammates orchestrate a final possession, then rushes to the ball, drives to his spot and pulls up to break the hearts of Sacramento Kings fans in the final second. Thompson racked up 14 points in the November 1, 2023 matchup.

He can wreak havoc above the rim or beat you from beyond the arc but Karl-Anthony Towns’ bag is even deeper than that. Presented a smaller defender out a switch on a sideline out-of-bounds play, Towns eyes up the rim, puts the ball on the floor and drives hard into a running floater that banks in off the glass. Towns’ late hoop with five seconds on the clock – one of the 10 field goals he hit with just 11 attempts – clinched a Minnesota Timberwolves win over the New Orleans Pelicans on November 18, 2023.

It takes more than one human to slow Jusuf Nurkić’s momentum: defend accordingly.
