Steven Adams palmed the basketball at the top of the key with his outstretched left hand. Hamidou Diallo zipped around him and received a handoff. As Diallo curled, he flipped the ball back to his rolling 6-foot-11 center. Adams finished through a Jonathan Issac foul that barely knocked him off balance.

Adams was both facilitator and forceful screener for the Thunder on Tuesday night.
