In a previous NBA playoff Western Conference Finals G4, the Oklahoma City Thunder defeated the Minnesota Timberwolves who played at home 128-126. After this game, the Thunder widened the total score of the series to 3-1, and had already won the match point of this round of series; while the Timberwolves would encounter huge trouble, they were already on the edge of the cliff with one foot.

In this game, the Thunder's substitute forward Kenrich Williams performed quite well. Williams played 12 minutes and 21 seconds in the game, made 2 of 3 shots and 1 of 2 from outside the three-point line, scored 5 points, 2 rebounds and 2 steals, and had a turnover, with a plus-negative value of +1. Although Williams didn't make many shots on the offensive end, he also showed his outstanding scoring ability and shooting ability. Not only can Williams provide certain support to the team on the offensive end, but he also maintains sufficient competitiveness on the defensive end. He is a very reliable defender, his personal defense ability is quite outstanding, and his defensive experience is beyond everyone's expectations. Williams also played his role well and provided sufficient support to the team on both offense and defense. His outstanding performance also helped the team win.

In the NBA regular season this season, Williams made a total of 69 appearances in 82 games, averaging 16.4 minutes per game, averaging 6.3 points, 3.5 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 0.6 steals and 0.1 blocks, and 0.6 turnovers and 1.6 fouls. He shot 48.3%, three-point shooting percentage 38.6%, and free throw shooting percentage 71.8%. In the playoffs, Williams only got 8 play opportunities in the first 15 games, averaging 9.4 minutes per game, averaging 4 points, 2.4 rebounds, 0.4 assists and 0.8 steals, 0.6 turnovers and 0.8 fouls, shooting percentage of 43.3%, three-point shooting percentage of 21.4%, and free throw shooting percentage of 75%.

Williams performed very well in the regular season this season. He also showed comprehensive scoring ability and very good offensive efficiency, and he was able to provide a lot of support to the team on the defensive end. However, there is actually a clear gap between Williams' performance and everyone's expectations. He was unable to even get a stable chance to enter the rotation lineup in the previous two rounds of the series. However, in this round of the series, Williams also won more trust from the team's coaching staff with his outstanding performance, and he also began to return to the team's rotation lineup. Williams' performance can also make everyone look forward to it, and he should continue to hold a solid position in the rotation lineup.
