A strong performance by Steven Adams has been outshone this afternoon, with the San Antonio Spurs claiming a 108-94 victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder.
Adams posted 16 points, 12 rebounds, two assists, and a steal and block apiece, shooting 7/13 from the field and 2/4 from the free-throw line
in 34 minutes of action.
The Kiwi centre continues to be the second most productive player on the Thunder roster, and is taking on extra responsibility with back-up big man Enes Kanter ruled out for at least a month after fracturing his forearm punching a chair.
While Adams' individual performance continued his strong run of showings after returning from concussion, the Thunder were left rueing a slow start and lackluster finish against the always-potent Spurs.
An 11-0 run at the end of the first quarter saw the Spurs open up a 31-17 lead at the interval, and their double digit lead remained through most of the first half.
