Another strong game from Steven Adams was not enough to save the Oklahoma City Thunder from a 113-109 loss to the Houston Rockets today.

Newshub reports, the 25-year-old was a force on the low block, getting plenty of touches and working his near-automatic jump-hook to great effect.

He finished with an uber-efficient 17 points and seven rebounds on 8 out of 11 shooting, with just one turnover.

The Thunder remain in third place in the NBA’s Western Conference.

They return home to take on the Phoenix Suns on Saturday.
