[Photo by Bryan Terry, The Oklahoman]Steven Adams will be the first to tell you when he's had a bad game. He said he "sucked" against the Nets on Tuesday. Adams' doesn't have many bad games in a row.
Against the Wizards on Thursday, Adams was all over. Stepping forward on ballhandlers on defense to let Andre Roberson get back into position, then dropping back quickly and deflecting to low pass.
Yet, it's been Adams' offensive rebounding that's taken to seat right next to his defense this season. It was ever in the Thunder's 121-112 win against Washington, the Thunder's sixth in a row.
