Jaylin Williams records triple-double in Thunder's victory
Jaylin Williams of the Oklahoma City Thunder had an impressive performance in a recent game against the Philadelphia 76ers. With key players resting, Williams stepped up, finishing the game with a triple-double. He scored 19 points, grabbed 17 rebounds, and dished out 11 assists in just 38 minutes of playing time. The Thunder won the game 133-100. This was not Williams’ first strong showing this season. He has achieved a triple-double in both games where he received significant playing time due to the absence of other starters. Notably, he is the only Thunder player to record a triple-double this season, with two such performances under his belt now. In the game, he shot 7 of 11 from the field, including 3 of 5 from three-point range. He also managed to make both of his free throws and contributed two steals. His performance is especially remarkable, as it's the first time a Thunder player has posted such numbers since Russell Westbrook did so in 2019. After the game, Williams expressed gratitude for the support from his coaches and teammates. He emphasized the importance of believing in himself as he continues to improve on the court. The Thunder were missing several key players, including Jalen Williams and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, during this game.
