Steven Adams: ‘I absolutely s*** my pants' before clutch free throws vs. Bulls

Share

The Bulls collected perhaps their worst loss of the season — amid a season full of "worst" losses — with their 109-106 loss that came after at one point possessing a 26-point lead against the Thunder in Oklahoma City.

Hall-of-Famer-to-be Chris Paul was dominant down the stretch of OKC's win, scoring or assisting on 22 of the Thunder's 27 fourth-quarter points. but it was Thunder center Steven Adams, a career 55.1% free throw shooter, who was tasked with giving the Thunder the lead with the game tied at 106.

How did OKC's big man feel at the charity stripe with all the pressure on him in the game's final seconds?

As only Steven Adams can so eloquently put it, he s**t his pants when approaching the free throw line. Adams went on to make the first free throw. He missed the second only to make a heads up play and get the rebound, one of Adams' four offensive boards on the night. His rebound and ensuing kickout pass to the perimeter led to free throws for Paul, effectively sealing the impressive comeback win for the Thunder and the Bulls 19th loss of the season.
