Pointing to the Thunder’s 11-game win streak, which was snapped by the Rockets in Friday’s loss, Williams knows his team took an uncharacteristic approach on the road.

“I don’t want to blow this up super crazy. How many games did we just win in a row, 11? That’s hard to do in general. I don’t want to say we’ll have games like this, but that is the human nature part of it,” Williams said. “We already clinched. We’re going to be in first place, like, we know. So, I think it’s very easy to let yourself off the gas. We’ve done a good job of it. I think this team really enjoys winning, too. So, just trying to keep that competitive edge each game.

“We’re playing against ourselves. We’re trying to get ready and figure out what works and what doesn’t for the playoffs. So, we’re trying to keep that in mind as we play.”

During Williams’ media availability, he was on the verge of moving on from Friday’s loss.

“This loss will probably carry over for about another hour,” Williams added. Then, probably gonna home. Eat. Go to sleep. And we’ll be playing a completely different team. Another good playoff team where we get to, I don’t want to say redeem ourselves, but we just get another challenge to get better, and prepare for April.”

We were uncharacteristically sloppy in the first half with the ball. Had a high turnover night for us, and they made us play on those plays. They’re a really good transition team because of their athleticism. So, obviously, it could have been better there.” Daigneault concluded.The Thunder will look to bounce back when they host the Lakers on Sunday
