Thunder's Alex Caruso blocks a shot with his shoe, gets technical foul
- Alex Caruso used his shoe to block a Tristan da Silva layup in Orlando on Wednesday.
- Caruso lost his left shoe while running back in transition and quickly retrieved it from the hardwood, then swiped at Tristan da Silva's driving layup, knocking the ball free.
- Referees conferred and ruled the sequence a goaltend, then assessed Caruso a technical foul for using an illegal object to block the shot.
- The technical foul immediately sparked Paolo Banchero, Orlando Magic forward, to make the technical free throw that helped spark a 15-5 run and cut the Magic deficit to eight.
- Despite the nullified block the Thunder still won 113-108 to move to 54-15 and remain atop the Western Conference with 13 games remaining.
