10. Man among boys

If there ever was any doubt that Steven Adams aka Aquaman is a man or mouse, the below certainly answers that question. After running a pick and roll with PG13, Adams receives the pass under the duress of Bulls Jabari Parker and Cameron Payne. After initially jostling with both players, the Big Kiwi goes up strong to complete the And-1 lay-up.

Adams finished the game with 21 points (9-17 from the field, 3-7 free throws),10 rebounds, two steals and one block in 31 minutes of action.

9. Steal and the bucket

Who said clutch play was just about making buckets? PG13 came up huge inside the final minute of the loss to Chicago. With less than 40 seconds to go, George prys away a lazy Zach LaVine pass to Justin Holiday then has the presence of mind to hit Schroder on the move. The German attacks the basket to put OKC up one.

This capped off a great week for the star who showed the NBA that he is the real deal this season. You would think he’s in the running for Defensive Player of the Year at least right?
