Jalen Williams doesn't care if NBA fans get 'bored' watching Thunder

Going up for a wild layup attempt, Jalen Williams grabbed his miss. Fighting through a packed paint, the 24-year-old muscled his way for a layup as Jake LaRavia was forced to foul him. The and-one bucket had him and the OKC crowd celebrating as it doubled the score.

The Oklahoma City Thunder absolutely destroyed the Los Angeles Lakers in a 139-96 win where they led the entire way and by as many as 46 — yep, 46 — points. Even though both teams have been red-hot since the NBA All-Star break, the former showed the latter that there are levels to this. Williams finished with 10 points on 4-of-10 shooting, nine rebounds and eight assists.

He shot 0-of-1 from 3 and went 2-of-2 on free throws. He also had two steals. Nearing a triple-double, Williams joined Shai Gilgeous-Alexander in getting up for this primetime matchup.

He was the Scottie Pippen to his Michael Jordan. It was a loud 10-point performance as he bullied his way to the rim and showed off his pull-up jumper. All of his buckets came in the first half as he had a short stint.
