Jalen Williams of the Oklahoma City Thunder has shown remarkable resilience during the playoffs, overcoming poor shooting stretches to emerge as a pivotal player. In the Finals against the Indiana Pacers, after struggling initially, he rebounded in Game 4 with 27 points, contributing heavily to the team's success. His confidence stems from his overall game, emphasizing his role as a passer and defender. With experience at this level, both he and the Pacers are prepared for the upcoming challenges, highlighting the importance of adaptability in the series.
Williams said he doesn't worry about whether shots go in because his confidence comes from his complete game. He's a willing passer and a second-team All-Defense selection.
So there won't be a game where I don't shoot well and it affects my confidence to not shoot those shots my teammates need me to shoot.
In Game 4, Williams handled the ball more and was aggressive. He scored 27 points and made 8 of 18 field goals and 11 of 11 free throws.
Being now at this stage, I just think that we've had those games under our belts where the guys have come through when we haven't done things well.
