“Honestly I think the clock was low so I was just kind of like, ‘Shoot it.’ ... Just shots in general, I work really hard and shoot a lot of them, so when I’m shooting them, that’s kind of my mindset going into it: Just being aggressive and take what the defense gives me,” Williams said.was critical, and it gave the Thunder some much-needed cushion against a Timberwolves team that did not quit.

“This journey is not easy, and it’s not meant to be easy,” Williams said. “These experiences will make us better. Down the stretch, you’ve got to know the score, obviously, but you can’t let that affect the game. They’re going to score. They’re a really good team. ... I think a lot of it is we just stayed with it.”While Gilgeous-Alexander has garnered most of the attention for the Thunder this season, Williams quietly has stacked up accolades and played a key role in their league-best 68-14 regular-season record. Williams was named an All-Star for the first time, then was selected third-team All-NBA and second-team all-defense.It hasn’t been all smooth for Williams in the playoffs — he hit some ruts against Denver in the Western Conference semifinals and he scored only 13 points in the Game 3 blowout loss at Minnesota on Saturday. But Thunder coach Mark Daigneault said the 24-year-old Williams keeps improving because he has the right approach to the game. He is averaging 23 points on 49% shooting from the field and 50% shooting from 3-point range in the series.

“The thing I’m impressed with about him is his ability to learn from his experiences very quickly is impressive,” Daigneault said. “He had some games in the Denver series that he wasn’t great offensively. He just looks at it in a very intentional way and improves.”Where some players’ growth can be measured year by year, Williams seemingly takes steps daily.

“I just think his carryover and his growth from game to game is exciting,” Daigneault said. “He’s still a young player, as great of a player as he is.”

Williams helped the Thunder overcome a game from a Timberwolves team that did a lot of things right. The Wolves shot 51.2% and made 18 3s in Game 5. Before Monday’s game, teams that shot 50% or better from the floor and made 18 or more 3s were 55-0 in the playoffs.Mulato Teatro cast members from left to right, Azul Ruíz; Marlene Romero; Marisol Castillo; Caro Rodríguez and Eréndira Castorela strumming a jarana instrument, rehearse for their upcoming performance in the First International Afro-Scenic Festival, in Ticumán, Mexico, Saturday, May 17, 2025.

It is well known that the Mesoamerican lands conquered by the Spaniards in the 16th century were inhabited by Indigenous people, resulting in mixed-race marriages and births. Less noted is the fact that some mixed-race Mexicans are partly descended from enslaved Black people.According to Velázquez, the evolution of communities incorporating Black people depended on their geographic location. “Much of the Afro-descendant population established relations and coexisted alongside different Indigenous groups, resulting in very heterogeneous communities,” she said.

Official figures from 2024 estimate the Afro-descendant population in Mexico is 3.1 million, mainly residing in the states of Guerrero, Morelos, Colima and Quintana Roo. While most identify as African Mexican, nearly two-thirds also perceive themselves as Indigenous.Castorela — born in Morelos, a state neighboring
