More on this storyline

After the win, a reporter informed Williams of his new career high, which ignited a smile and a fist pump from the first-year All-Star before he talked about his process for reaching this new career milestone. “A lot of it was not worrying about the officiating, understanding their human; they’re gonna miss calls same way I’m gonna miss shots,” Williams said. “I kind of just let up off of it. It’s just about playing with force, being able to play through contact. I thought I did a good job finishing whether or not I’m getting hit. I think that’s been a big one. I think I’m just getting more and more reps in figuring out how to draw fouls. I think I pumped fake and got somebody in the air today. “I think a lot of it is just playing through contact,” Williams added. “And if I get fouled, I get fouled. And [today] I thought I had a pretty good process of it.” -via Clutch Points / March 10, 2025
Brandon Rahbar: Jalen Williams on how much it means to the team to see Shai Gilgeous-Alexander in the MVP race: “It means a lot. Probably means more to us than him. At the same time, we’re all focused on winning. And winning solves a lot of those issues.” -via Twitter @BrandonRahbar / March 9, 2025
