Strong defensive effort in OT win Williams provided three points (1-6 FG, 1-5 3Pt), 13 rebounds, two assists and three blocks over 32 minutes off the bench during Monday's 114-110 overtime victory over Detroit.
The Scoop: All 13 boards came at the defensive end of the court, while the three rejections were his best performance at the rim since Feb. 11. Williams has pulled down double-digit rebounds in five of the last 14 games (two starts), averaging 9.4 points, 7.4 boards, 2.4 threes, 2.2 assists and 1.0 combined steals and blocks in 21.6 minutes over that stretch. He saw a slightly larger role Monday due to Isaiah Hartenstein (calf) and Jalen Williams (hamstring) sitting out the second half of a back-to-back set. Mar 31 2:37 ET |
