Steven Adams has backed-up his career-best scoring performance in the NBA.
He's scored 19 points and grabbed 10 rebounds in the Oklahoma City Thunder's 90-87 home win over the San Antonio Spurs, two days after he scored 27 points in a win over the Minnesota Timberwolves.
It's Adams' sixth double-doubleof the season and has helped the Thunder move to a game and a half off eighth place in the western conference.
Russell Westbrook had had 22 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists for the Thunder.
Dejounte Murray had 17 points and Derrick White added 16 for San Antonio.
With a chance to tie it at the end, Brandon Paul missed a 3-pointer and the Thunder rebounded.
Spurs starters LaMarcus Aldridge and Tony Parker sat out.
San Antonio coach Gregg Popovich said Aldridge rested with a minor knee issue and Parker was "dinged-up." The Spurs still are waiting for forward Kawhi Leonard's right quadriceps injury to heal. San Antonio's Kyle Anderson sprained his left knee with a minute remaining in the third quarter and did not return.
