But oftentimes vs. Memphis, Chet Holmgren had John Wick’s itch to pull — a welcome sight from a budding star aiming to maximize that gravity.

Scotty Pippen Jr. learned that the hard way in the fourth quarter when he attempted to cut off OKC's All-Star forward on a fastbreak. Williams brushed the undersized defender off with ease, sending him flying, before he stopped on a dime for a 3-pointer that found the bottom of the net.

Gilgeous-Alexander scored a game-high 38 points, helping OKC to a second-round date with the winner between the Clippers and Nuggets.
