Steven Adams produced one of his best performances of the season to lead the Oklahoma City Thunder to a 107-104 win over the Pelicans in New Orleans on Monday (NZT).
Adams posted an impressive 17 point, 10 rebound double-double on an efficient 6 of 7 shooting, with two blocks and a steal. He also sank two critical late free throws to seal the win for the Thunder.
After a slow and injury-plagued start to the season, Adams is starting to find his rhythm. He's posted three double-doubles over his past four games to help his team back to the cusp of the Western Conference's top eight.
Italian forward Danilo Gallinari also played a big hand in the win - their second in three days over the Pelicans - with 23 points and 11 rebounds.
Guard Jrue Holiday was the Pelicans' best with 26 points, four assists and three rebounds.
The Thunder now travel to Indian to play the Pacers on Friday.
