Jaylin Williams took full advantage of the numerous absences
It is well known that when the cat is gone, the mice dance. And when several cats are missing, the mouse must appear and lead the way. In the Thunder, faced with a mountain of packages for the trip to Detroit, it is Jailyn Williams who carried the reigning champions.
It’s hard to play on one of the best teams in the NBA without the best players. But within Oklahoma City confirms it, “It’s fun to play and fight when everyone expects a big loss”.
Facing a serious Detroit teamwho will still falter here or there, the current champions have done their best to exist and resist. It certainly wasn’t enoughbut the Thunder’s performance was positive, given the circumstances and the absences.
“It means a lot. It shows that our franchise, our team is great at keeping players ready for any moment or situation.”he continues. “You never know who will raise their level of play, or who will make this or that number of shots.” We have players who want to give of themselves and do whatever it takes to win. »
His first career 30-point game
Even if he didn’t hit the most shots in the loss, Jaylin Williams was Oklahoma City’s best player, with 30 points on 9/14 shooting, including 5/10 3-pointers, while also 11 rebounds and 4 assists. He has never scored so many goals in a regular game since the beginning of his career.
However, everything could have ended in the first quarter, when he injured his left ankle after a layup. He grimaced, limped, but held on to keep the Thunder in the game.
“All my life I’ve been the type of player who plays through injuries. That’s what my father taught me. There’s always someone worse than you. I give everything to my team. The only way I can’t be on the field is when I can’t handle it.”he concludes.
