Thunder journal: Grant, Adams can pass when OKC faces the double

It's a play which seems simple enough, but it's not second nature to players like Steven Adams and Jerami Grant.

But they're learning. When the Jazz sent two players to trap Paul George early in the fourth quarter of Game 1 Sunday, each time George was able to get the ball quickly to Grant, who had to make a quick decision as the defense rotated.

Whenever there's two defenders going to the ball, somebody's open on the backside of the court. Grant made the right decision twice to find Alex Abrines for threes in the Thunder's 116-108 win.
