Oklahoma City Thunder game summaryJalen Williams struggled from the field, hitting just 2 of 13 shots, including 0-for-5 from three-point range.
Still, he found a way to contribute, going a perfect 6-for-6 from the free-throw line and adding 5 assists and 3 steals in 33 minutes with 10 points. Chet Holmgren added 8 points and grabbed 13 rebounds, but he missed all three of his attempts from beyond the arc and didn’t get to the line at all.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander led the way in scoring with 25 points on 8-for-19 shooting. He couldn’t connect from deep either, missing all five three-point attempts, but he did hit 9 of his 12 free throws. He also chipped in 6 rebounds, 6 assists, and 2 steals in 38 minutes. Lu Dort scored 6 points on 2-of-10 shooting while going 2-for-10 from three. The starting unit as a whole struggled to find rhythm offensively.
Off the bench, Cason Wallace and Aaron Wiggins brought a spark. Wallace was efficient, scoring 11 points on 4-of-7 shooting, hitting all 3 of his three-point attempts. Wiggins matched that output with 11 points of his own, shooting 50 percent from the floor and hitting 3 of 6 from deep. Alex Caruso also made an impact with 10 points, 4 rebounds, and 2 assists. His +12 plus-minus was one of the best on the team.
