SAN ANTONIO -- Steven Adams writhed in pain on the floor. As he stood up, it was clear he could put little pressure on his left foot. Still, minutes later, he was back on the floor playing through gritted teeth for his Thunder teammates.
Jerami Grant took all the punishment he could take. With Adams and Nerlens Noel sidelined, it was up to Grant to sustain the repeated body blows from San Antonio Spurs center LaMarcus Aldridge.
Terrance Ferguson saw Spurs players rain in their first 14 three-pointers. In a matchup between the league’s best three-point shooting team and the Thunder who are at the bottom of the pack, Ferguson confidently gave it right back to the Spurs with a career-best seven three-point makes of his own.
