Steven Adams showed the New Orleans Pelicans just what they are missing

The Memphis Grizzlies defeated his previous team, the New Orleans Pelicans, 116-101 thanks to an all-action performance by Steven Adams for the Memphis Grizzlies. Adams struggled to adapt to his surroundings while playing for the Pelicans, and his scoring average dropped to 7.6 points per game, the lowest it had been since his rookie year. Adams was eventually traded to Memphis last year.

The third-place Grizzlies won their second straight game after defeating the Toronto Raptors on the road on Thursday, thanks in large part to the big Kiwi centre, who has been a tremendous hit in Memphis. He produced a season-high 21 rebounds and 10 points. During the second quarter, Adams, who is 29 years old and is in his tenth NBA season, also snatched his 3100th defensive rebound.
