When listing the Thunder’s facilitators, Steven Adams’s name won’t pop up first. Russell Westbrook, Paul George and Dennis Schroder naturally come to mind before the OKC center. And yet, Adams recorded three assists in a 124-109 win over the Hawks Friday, logging at least that many for the third time in the Thunder’s past eight games.
The Thunder doesn’t set goals for the number of times they get a player the ball or types of shots the team takes, OKC coach Billy Donovan said Friday before the game. He thinks that hamstrings players’ ability to read the game.
