They dished 34 assists on their 43 made field goals. Grant Williams contributed a career-high six of those assists -- all in the first half. He did a little bit of everything in the win as he also had nine points and nine rebounds.They haven't had a single-game assist percentage over 90% since 1988.Williams was one of four C's with five or more assists. Tatum, White, and Smart were the others.
