In the final seconds of yesterday's playoff game against the Dallas Mavericks, Kiwi Steven Adams had a buzzer-beating game-winner disallowed, and his Oklahoma City Thunder were denied a 2-0 series lead.
Adams has brushed off the result and is already focused on game three, comparing his disallowed shot to an ex-girlfriend in an interview with ESPN writer Royce Young.
