Josue Pavon is an Associate Editor and the Oklahoma City Thunder beat writer for ClutchPoints. Josue got his start as a credentialed media member writing about the Boston Celtics for WEEI.com. He grew into a local on-camera NBA reporter and podcast host for CLNS Media, where he is the co-host of the Cedric Maxwell podcast.

With the Grizzlies’ defense often fixed on a deep drop and gapping Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Chet Holmgren and Jalen Williams have stepped up for the Thunder.

Williams brought 20 points, six assists, relentless defense and led a second-quarter onslaught in Oklahoma City's Game 1 blowout of Memphis.
