Williams' smile stretched from ear-to-ear when a reporter mentioned Joe's dunk over Banchero. "Let's talk about it," Kenrich said, before getting into what Joe has apparently turned into an annual event, Williams said, after Tuesday's win.
"I told Isaiah, it seems like every year, once a year, he always catches a body," Williams said. "It's impressive for a guy his size cause it sneaks up on you. It's a sneaky bounce — just happy that he caught a body, and it's fun to watch him play."
After Williams' postgame press conference, Isaiah Joe said he's due for at least one poster every season, when it was time for his media availability after the Thunder's win. This year, it was Magic All-Star Paolo Banchero on Joe's poster.

"I joke with the guys all the time. I told them I get like one opportunity a year," Joe said. "If I'm lucky to get another one, that'll be a record."
Joe went 8-for-12 from the floor, including five threes, and one steal. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander finished with 20 points, nine assists, five rebounds, and two steals. Lu Dort added 18 points, five rebounds, and two steals, and Chet Holmgren notched 16 points and 10 rebounds.
