When talking about Jaylen Williams' outstanding performance, Oklahoma City Thunder coach Daigneault said, "Full of impact, this is the key word we repeatedly emphasized during his growth. When he plays at his best, he will show this impact. His performance in this game was incredible from beginning to end."

“It wasn’t a perfect game and we still have a lot of room for improvement, but our improvement from Game 4 to Game 5 was extremely important.”

Jaylen Williams said, "We are still learning, and my teammates have given me a lot of confidence, allowing me to let go and show myself. Coach Daignolt also keeps telling me that I just need to do my best and don't need to think too much, which gives me a lot of confidence."

"Honestly, it was almost exactly like the first game, and learning in the finals is what a good team should be like."

In addition, Gilgeous-Alexander, who also helped the Oklahoma City Thunder win, said, “Honestly, from the moment I saw Jaylen Williams play in the summer league, I knew he could be extremely good in this league. He can do so many things on the court, and he has a great sense of the ball and a professional attitude.”

"When a player has these two conditions, he will find a way to improve. The harder a player works, the more he can shape his own style of play and find a position that suits him, and we are witnessing his growth."
