The Gonzaga product had 17 points, nine rebounds and four assists on 6-for-11 shooting, but those were not the most eye-catching statistics on his box score. Holmgren tallied five blocks in the contest, rejecting multiple Sixers at the rim throughout the night. His five blocks are his second-most of that total in a single game this season. The All-Star has continued to make his impact heard for his team, getting in great form on the defensive end just in time for the playoffs to begin.

Williams scored 18 points on 8-for-14 from the floor, adding on four rebounds and six assists to his box score. Getting the Santa Clara product going heading into postseason play is a key bullet point for the remainder of OKC's regular season. This performance is a great stepping stone for that. The All-NBA wing looked explosive with and without the ball, which is a great sign for the outlook of his season. Williams was playing his best basketball of the season in his two games before re-injuring his hamstring; getting back to that form would be huge for OKC.Cody is a sophomore Sports and Adventure Media major at West Virginia University who works for the Daily Athenaeum, U92 the Moose and the Lead SM.
