Adams on Thunder win in Game 2: 'We actually tried this time'

While overshadowed by events at the end of Monday's game, the Oklahoma City Thunder's Game 2 victory was an impressive bounce-back from the 32-point beatdown the San Antonio Spurs handed them in Game 1.

Thunder center Steven Adams put it bluntly after the contest in which he scored 12 points and grabbed 17 rebounds. "We came out and actually tried," Adams told reporters. "That's pretty much it. We actually tried this time."

Adams had his own brush with controversy in the final 14 seconds, when a fan reached out and appeared to try and restrain him when he neared the first row on a closeout. The 22-year-old New Zealand native reacted angrily, but the incident didn't become widely known until after media had cleared out of the Thunder locker room.
