Former Pitt center Steven Adams is in the NBA Playoffs with the Oklahoma City Thunder. The Thunder are facing the Dallas Mavericks in the first round and Adams is hoping to help them into the next round.
A win tonight against Dallas would move them closer to their goal and Oklahoma City has a 2-1 series advantage heading into tonight's contest.
Adams isn't a star on the team, but there's no doubt he's contributing. Since last season, he's been etched into the starting lineup and this year, had career-bests in points per game (8.0) and field goal percentage (61%) while pulling down 6.
