Jalen Williams was one of three players for OKC that totaled double figures against the Timberwolves.
The talented forward dropped a double-double with 26 points and 10 rebounds on 12-of-20 shooting from the field.
He also put in five assists and a steal in the Thunder’s 118-103 victory over Minnesota. Williams made some noise in game one with 19 points, eight boards, five assists, and five steals, but he brought more on Thursday. The 6-foot-5, 211-pounder is a great complementary piece to Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, taking pressure off the superstar. William averaged double figures in scoring in the Thunder’s series against Memphis and Denver. He needs two more marquee showings to get OKC closer to an NBA title.
Game three is Saturday as the series shifts to Minnesota.
