The Bucks were far too good for the Oklahoma City Thunder, a disappointing end to what had been a fantastic In-Season Tournament for the team from Oklahoma City. Despite the loss, the Thunder remain arguably the team to beat in the West, and Williams should continue to serve as a key piece on both ends of the floor.
