Steven Adams has now taken two shots under the belt in the Western Conference Finals, both courtesy of the Warriors‘ Draymond Green.
After catching a knee to the groin from Green in Game 2, Adams was struck by Green's foot on Sunday evening in Game 3. The kick brought the Kiwi big man down to his knees.
Draymond was assessed with a flagrant-1 on the play, but he maintained after the game that he didn't even know it happened. Adams felt a little bit differently.
“I mean, it happened before. He's pretty accurate, that guy,” said Adams, clearly believing that the kick was intentional.
Teammate Russell Westbrook echoed those sentiments while speaking with the media.
“Honestly, I think it was intentional,” Westbrook said. “That's two times in the last two games.”
Adams added that he “actually shed some tears” after taking the groin shot, and the discomfort was too great for him to confront Green in the moment.
With regards to a possible suspension for Green, Adams took the high road.
