“I feel like it’s my job defensively,” said Williams, who tallied 11 rebounds, 7 points, 4 assists, and 3 blocks in a season-high 26 minutes against the Pelicans Monday night.
With just over two and a half minutes remaining in the first quarter, Williams swatted a baby hook from Davis inside the paint. The 21-year-old later would reject the big man again on a turnaround 12-foot jumper in the fourth.
