Comfortable performance Sunday Williams ended with 22 points (9-15 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, six assists, one block and one steal over 29 minutes during Sunday's 119-84 victory over Phoenix in Game 1...

Impact Williams put together an impressive stat line, getting it done on both ends of the floor. After a season riddled with injuries, it was good to see Williams back to his best. Given how dominant Oklahoma City has been this season, a healthy Williams is certainly a scary thought for any potential opponents. Look for him to continue his strong play when the two teams meet again Wednesday.

Impact Williams will sit out Sunday's regular-season finale, marking his second consecutive absence due to right hamstring injury management.

Sitting vs. Denver Williams is out for Friday's game against the Nuggets due to right hamstring injury management, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.

Productive in Wednesday's win Williams closed with 18 points (7-12 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds, six assists and two steals in 32 minutes during Wednesday's 128-110 victory over the Clippers.

Impact After sitting out the front half of a back-to-back Tuesday, Williams was back in the lineup and handled his biggest workload in seven games since returning from a hamstring strain. OKC's focus has been on making sure the fourth-year forward was 100 percent for the playoffs, so Williams' court time could be erratic over the final two games of the regular season. Since getting back on the court in late March, he's averaging 15.4 points, 5.7 assists, 4.4 boards and 0.9 steals in 25.9 minutes while shooting 50.6 percent from the floor.
