The Oklahoma City Thunder secured a 107-99 victory over the Portland Trail Blazers last night to improve to 28-4 at home and 52-11 overall.
Oklahoma City did not have Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (rest), Jalen Williams (wrist), Chet Holmgren (leg), Cason Wallace (knee), Luguentz Dort (knee), and Isaiah Hartenstein (nasal fracture), making this win impressive.
The Portland Trail Blazers were in fine form, as they won five of their previous six games before going to Oklahoma City.
Six players scored double-digit points for the Oklahoma City Thunder. Aaron Wiggins went off for 30 points, five rebounds, and three assists, on 13-for-26 shooting from the field. Alex Caruso, Ousmane Dieng, Isaiah Joe, Kenrich Williams, and Jaylin Williams added 17, 16, 16, 10, and 10 points.
Oklahoma City Thunder News: Jaylin Williams records first career triple-double
Oklahoma City Thunder center Jaylin Williams notched his first career triple-double against the Portland Trail Blazers. Besides having 10 points, the 22-year-old also had 11 rebounds, 11 assists, three steals, and two blocks.
According to Underdog NBA, Williams is the fourth player to post a triple-double this season with at least three steals and two blocks, joining Alperen Sengun, Luka Doncic, and Nikola Jokic.
Williams has likely earned more minutes moving forward, and he might start again for Oklahoma City if they remain shorthanded in the frontcourt for the Denver Nuggets game this Sunday.
