Steven Adams could have devoured the ball quickly, but he's as much exquisite teammate as interior behemoth. Adams let the ball fall all the way to the hardwood, clearly expecting Russell Westbrook to zoom in for a precious rebound.
But Westbrook was occupied elsewhere, so Adams corralled the rebound himself, off the bounce.
