Before today’s matchup between the Suns and Thunder, head coach Monty Williams did his usual pregame media availability but this time was a little different.
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!Back in 2016, Williams wife Ingrid Williams passed away after getting involved in a car accident. Today Williams reflected back on his time with his wife as well as thanking the Thunder organization for everything they did while he was coaching there during a time where all that was taking place.
"Today would've been my wife's birthday. They honored my wife by not allowing anybody to sit in her seats. When I found out, it really messed me up"
Suns coach Monty Williams thanked the Thunder organization for honoring his late wife.

Williams served as one of the Thunder assistant coaches back in 2015-2016 when the incident took place. Now he’s the head coach of the Phoenix Suns and has a career coaching record of 192-113 with the team after getting a win tonight against the Thunder by a final score of 128-118.
The Suns are now on a 5 game winning streak and are 6-0 in the Kevin Durant era. Let’s see if it can still continue Tuesday against the Spurs.
