Jalen Williams keeps bouncing back.

The Oklahoma City Thunder All-Star has suffered through poor shooting stretches in each of the past three playoff series. And each time, he's recovered to help the Thunder win critical games.

After two rough shooting nights to start the Finals series against the Indiana Pacers, the 24-year-old forward found his stride.

In Game 4, Williams handled the ball more and was aggressive. He scored 27 points and made 8 of 18 field goals and 11 of 11 free throws. His success helped league MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander explode for 35 points as the Thunder won 111-104 to even the series at 2-2 and regain homecourt advantage.

He had similar moments in the Western Conference semifinals against Denver and the conference Finals against Minnesota.
