On Monday night, Oklahoma City's head coach made a notable adjustment to his team's rotation that ended up paying off down the stretch.
After two consecutive losses to the Dallas Mavericks, the Oklahoma City Thunder had its back against the wall in Game 4.
Hayward has been a mainstay in Oklahoma City's rotation since the former Hornet's wing was traded to the team in February. While he never earned huge minutes on the court, Hayward regularly checked in with the second unit throughout his time in the Modern Frontier. While Williams was just 0-for-1 during his time on the floor on Monday night, the TCU product was solid on defense and plays with great physicality. In a series against the Mavericks, a team who has the personnel to play physically, having a tough option off the bench seemed to work for the Thunder in Game 4.
