In the Thunder hosted the Maverick. During the game, Willow broke through to wrestle a foul and landed with a rather exaggerated move that the referee mistook for a provocation and blew the technical foul. The league reversed the technical foul after repeated replays. Willis had previously picked up his 16th technical foul, an automatic one-game suspension. According to the rules, after a player receives 16 technical fouls, he is automatically suspended for one game for each additional two technical fouls he receives. The Thunder have advanced to the playoffs, but the standings are quite unfavorable. The Thunder beat the Lakers 119-103 at home to end a two-game losing streak. On the Thunder side, Westbrook scored 20 points, 20 rebounds and 21 assists, becoming the second player in history to cut down three 20s after Wilt Chamberlain. Grant 22 points and 5 rebounds, George 19 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists and 5 steals, Schroeder and Ferguson 15 points each. On the Lakers' side, Pop scored 23 points with five rebounds and four assists, Caruso had 15 points and seven assists, and Rondo had seven points, 10 rebounds and nine assists.
Willow, despite his poor touch, no points scored in a single quarter on 0 for 5 shooting, but he dished out 10 assists in just this one quarter, combing the team's offense. Although Willow strengthened the proportion of individual offense, but more attempts did not make his hand recovery, until the closing stage, he finally broke the deadlock in the outside. With Willow also began to find feel, the Lakers also completely lost hope of winning, the last quarter 3 minutes 20 seconds, Willow hit the ground pass Adams shooter, and this is already Willow this campaign sent out the 20th assists. Willow's rebounds have come to 17, three short of reaching them.
William also grabbed his 19th rebound of the game after Adams made a free throw that didn't go in. In this game, Adams played 33 minutes, shooting 6 of 11 from the field and 1 of 7 from the free throws to get 13 points + 8 rebounds + 3 assists. Adams free throws only 7 in 1, the hit rate is too low, so do not rule out that Adams really free throws can not enter, and Willow probably know, based on Adams free throw shooting rate in this game, 80% will not be able to enter the free throws, so Willow will be done in advance to grab the rebound, which is common sense.
