His plus-minus value was as high as +21, the highest in the game, fully demonstrating his offensive and defensive abilities.
Wiggins scored in a variety of ways, whether it was breakthroughs, jump shots or long-range shots, especially the stable hits on the free throw line. He made all 10 free throws, showing a calm mentality and mature game handling ability. In addition, he can also use his excellent sense of rhythm and basketball IQ to deliver bullets to his teammates, sent out 7 assists, and contributed 2 steals on the defensive end. It can be said that he has highlights on both offense and defense.
Although the Thunder did not have amazing overall statistics in this game, it was the hard-working and efficient role players like Wiggins who stepped forward and provided key support for the team. When he was on the court, the team beat the opponent by 21 points and ranked first in the plus-minus value, which was the key behind the Thunder's victory.
The Thunder no longer rely on a single core, but rely on a multi-point team system to win games. Aaron Wiggins' performance also once again proved the depth and flexibility of the Thunder lineup. While SGA, Jaylen Williams and other main players bear the pressure, Wiggins and other rotation players are ready to take over the game at any time.

Now that the regular season is coming to an end and the playoffs are just around the corner, Wiggins' state and performance will be an important part of the Thunder's impact on a higher stage.
