This was Chris Paul’s chance.
He had been picking New Zealand native Steven Adams’s brain about the Haka at least since Thunder Media Day. With OKC playing the New Zealand Breakers Thursday, maybe he’d get to see the traditional Maori war dance in person.
“I was hoping they were going to do it today,” Paul said after the Thunder’s 110-84 win over the Breakers, “but no action.”
Paul first saw videos of New Zealand’s national rugby team, the All Blacks, performing the Haka. They do it before every game.
