After Oklahoma City Thunder All-Star Jalen Williams addressed his lack of touches late in the fourth quarter and overtime in Game 3’s 113-104 loss against the Denver Nuggets, Thunder head coach Mark Daigneault gave reporters an explanation.

Swishing in a catch-and-shoot outside look, it looked like the Oklahoma City Thunder were on the verge of their All-Star player carrying them to a close playoff win after a busy fourth quarter filled with elite shot-making.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander stepped up with 25 points. Meanwhile, Alex Caruso, Cason Wallace and Aaron Wiggins made up for the other four Thunder starters' struggles with double-digit points and timely buckets down the stretch.
