New Zealander Steven Adams must have taken some satisfaction from this victory over his old pals at the Oklahoma Thunder.
Adams scored 12 points and secured 10 rebounds as the New Orleans Pelicans beat the Thunder 113-80 in their NBA game at Chesapeake Energy Arena on Friday afternoon (NZ time).
It was the first time Adams had returned to Oklahoma to play since leaving the Thunder, who were committed to rebuilding their roster, during the off-season.
