Shai’s sidekicks Williams and Holmgren give Thunder a big boost in Game 4 win vs. T-wolves
May 27, 2025
Even the NBA MVP needs a wing man. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has two. Jalen Williams and Chet Holmgren were so good in their own ways that a 40-point, 10-assist, nine-rebound performance by Gilgeous-Alexander in Game 4 of the Western Conference finals for Oklahoma City was somehow overshadowed. Williams had 13 of his 34 points in the first quarter for the scoring to match a tenacious start following a 42-point loss in Game 3. Holmgren had nine of his 21 points in the fourth quarter plus seven rebounds and three blocks. The Thunder took a 3-1 series lead by beating Minnesota 128-126.
