With the help of Gilgeous-Alexander, Jaylen Williams and Chet Holmgren, the Oklahoma City Thunder defeated the Minnesota Timberwolves 128-126 in the fourth round of the Western Conference Finals of the 2024/25 NBA Playoffs, and extended their lead to 3-1. Daignault said that all the players who played made great contributions to the team.

According to the data, Gilgeous-Alexander scored 40 points and 10 assists for the Oklahoma City Thunder in this campaign, Jalen Williams contributed 34 points and 5 assists, and Chet Holmgren scored 21 points and one assist, and his performance was also good.

Gilgeous-Alexander, 26, said, "We know we are close to our goal, but we are still far away. We have to play our characteristics on both offense and defense. If we can do that, then we will have no problem. But if we can't do that, then it will be bad."

"Jalen Williams and Chet Holmgren were really good. They played with confidence and didn't let the situation get to them, and I couldn't be more proud of both of them. I just tried to stay in the game and be aggressive and take advantage of my opportunities, and that helped me a lot."

In addition, Oklahoma City Thunder coach Daignolt said, "Special praise should be given to the strength of the opposing players. Their shooting percentage was ridiculously high. Being able to overcome this in such an away environment shows that this is a great team victory. The opponent will definitely do his best in Game 5. If we want to win the game, the team must try our best again."

"It was like a physical battle from the beginning. The intensity of the physical confrontation in the first 5 to 7 minutes was incredible, and our players withstood it. Gilgeous-Alexander was very good, Chet Holmgren was like a monster, and every player who played made a huge contribution for us."
