Alex Caruso on highlight-reel behind-the-back move on Ben Sheppard

The Chicago Bulls absolutely dominated the Indiana Pacers on Wednesday night, earning a 125-99 victory. They put on a show on the defensive end, becoming the first team this season to hold the Pacers to under 100 points. Alex Caruso was a big part of that, but he also had a fun highlight on the offensive end of the court.

With just over two minutes left in the first quarter of the game, Caruso had Pacers rookie Ben Sheppard on him. He drove right but pulled back, causing Sheppard to fall down by using a nasty behind-the-back move. It drew oohs and ahhs from the crowd, and Caruso sunk the jumper.

“You always got make that shot … As soon as I shot it, I thought it was going in and I was just in my head like, ‘Go in, go in, go in’,” Caruso said.

Caruso ended the game with 12 points, seven rebounds, seven assists, and two steals while shooting 5-of-10 from the field and 2-of-5 from beyond the three-point arc.
