Jalen Williams was asked about making All NBA and says he thinks it would be cool but winning 65 games is cooler.
He adds that both would be even better.
But also adds that he’d most advocate for SGA for MVP and Lu Dort for DPOY. – 11:38 PM

Mark Daigneault on Jalen Williams:
“He was great. He’s growing. Just because he’s a great player already doesn’t mean he’s not growing.
He was outstanding tonight.” – 10:54 PM

Jalen Williams just knocked down another mid-range jumper, he is cooking to start the second quarter, something OKC needs. – 8:42 PM

Jalen Williams opens the 2nd with a TOUGH middy, LeBron James sets up the answer with a jaw-dropping pass to DK for 3. Jalen Williams cans a 3 of his own the next trip down. Back and forth. – 8:41 PM
