Well, sort of.
Instead, we were given the reverse of that on the game's very first possession.
Fall worked in the post against Javin DeLaurier to put up the game's first shot. While DeLaurier was able to alter it, there was no stopping what happened next. Fall towered over everyone and grabbed the rebound and promptly slammed it home with one hand, as Williamson stepped slightly out of the way and looked up in amazement.

March 24, 2019 Fall, at least for now, held true on his claim he would not let Williamson bully him around in the paint.
