Kiwi NBA centre Steven Adams has helped his Oklahoma City Thunder rally from their second 20-point deficit in three days, overhauling Memphis Grizzlies 126-122.
Trailling by 24 points midway through the third quarter, OKC guard Dennis Schroder led the charge with a game-high 31 points, including 12 in the final period and four key free throws down the stretch to clinch victory.
Adams battled Lithuanian centre Jonas Valanciunas, grabbing a 'double double' of 13 points and 10 rebounds.
On Tuesday (NZ time), the Thunder fell 26 points behind the Chicago Bulls, but came back to win 109-106, with Adams shooting a go-ahead with four seconds left on the clock.
Oklahoma City have now won seven of their last 10 games and their 13-14 record sees them seventh in the Western Conference, just within playoff contention.
They next face the Phoenix Suns on Saturday.
