Kiwi Steve in the NBA #12: Comeback
Concussion protocol completed, Steven Adams was back on the court as the Thunder met the Utah Jazz and not a moment too soon either after a couple of pastings in his absence.

A crack on the noggin meant precious little game time for Steven Adams this week, luckily they have a few days off for him to fully recover. But how'd the lads fare without him?
Even for a long-suffering Dallas Cowboys fan, sometimes you simply have to tip your cap to greatness.
Every single fan of every single team dreams of winning the championship, some of those dreams more realistic than others, but only one set of fans get to see that come to be each year.
It was a season spent jumping between the active roster and the practice squad but Paul Lasike has done things this season that no New Zealander has ever done before.
You know, it’s funny how we use All Star selections as one of the ways we judge a player’s legacy when the All Star process itself is such a mess.
Some games are won with defensive plays, others with old fashioned offensive mastery. All games are won with a little bit of hustle, just look at Steven Adams.
This probably isn’t gonna be The Year for the Breakers. They’ve had a few of those in the past but it’s hard to imagine another one in 2017.
Russell Westbrook again tries to hijack Steven Adams' weekly but Ol' Funaki still had a few shining moments... like putting Hassan Whiteside on a poster and into a piggyback.
Well, here we are. The final week of the regular season... and a couple of these games still matter. Most of them don't but a couple do, here we go...
The Breakers have signed a new import to cover the injuries to Webster and Abercrombie, it's their last trump card and he's gonna need a bit of help.
A bit of up, a bit of down and then something in the middle this week. Gotta check out Stevie finishing off the most badass assist of the season from Russ though.
It’s the second to last week of the regular season and there’s drama on all sides, from teams trying to edge into the playoffs to teams trying to edge out their head coach and starting quarterback.
It’s never a good thing to lose one of your very best players to injury. In fact more often than not you’d have to say… it’s a bad thing.
A career high against the Rockets followed by three more games in double figures, Steven Adams is getting that ball in the hoop. Not quite equalling wins, though.
Having started 3-1, the Rams are 1-8 since then and even if Bill Belichick had six consecutive 0-16 seasons from this point he’d still have a better career record than the Fish.
The Breakers sit at 7-9, one win off the foot of the table and they’ve lost five of their last six. Across that stretch they’ve given up a lot of points. Like, A LOT of points.
From Jets misery to Le'Veon's goons to Cam Newton's tie to a helluva lot of playoff inmplications, get the lowdown with another week of fiesty NFL picks.
Rolled ankles can slow him down but no injury appears able to stop Steven Adams, who only played one quarter against the Pelicans due to that knock and yet he backed it up to start the very next night.
The first sign that this was gonna be a terrible week for the Breakers was when Corey Webster got arrested. That was a bad start to the week, no doubt.
