Current Oklahoma City head coach Mark Daigneault joined the Thunder organization one season after Adams, giving him an up-close view of the center’s contributions to a team that reached the playoffs six out of his seven years there. The 6-foot-11 New Zealand native didn’t put up gaudy scoring numbers, but OKC coaches always appreciated Adams for the underrated, intangible ways he generated victories.
“He’s going to help you win, regardless of who he’s fitting in with,” Daigneault said. “He does literally all of the little things that are continuous on possessions to help your team win, from communicating in pick-and-roll, to communicating in transition, to screening angles, to helping your team in huddles. Obviously loose balls and offensive rebounds. Those are transferrable skills that can fit any team, any personnel group.”

Late night hype. The Brooklyn Nets went into Sunday night’s showcase game against a fully healthy Los Angeles Clippers team hoping to extend their winning streak and send another message to the NBA. They managed to do both in style as they pushed the winning streak to six games with an incredibly impressive victory. The win capped off a perfect 5-0 road trip, the first time the team has done that in franchise history. That’s how you make it happen.
And oh, by the way, the NBA reviewed the controversial call near the end of the game and NBA stood by the refs’ in-game decision that Kawhi Leonard committed an offensive foul on James Harden.
