The Oklahoma City Thunder picked up a 108-102 victory over the Golden State Warriors in Game 1 of their best-of-seven series but much of the discussion following the game was focused on a comment from Steven Adams rather than the impressive performances we saw on the hardwood.

As you can see from the video clip above, Adams met with Chris Broussard of ESPN immediately following the final buzzer and used an interesting choice of words when describing what it was like trying to guard Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson on the perimeter.

After that interview, Adams did his best to clarify what he meant by those comments as he was quick to admit that he made a poor decision by using that analogy when discussing the difficulties that come with defending Curry and Thompson.

"It was just a poor choice of words, mate," Adams told Sam Amick of USA Today. "I wasn’t thinking straight. I didn’t know it was going to upset anyone, but I’m truly sorry. It was just a poor choice of words. I was just trying to express how difficult it was chasing those guys around."

Adams went on to explain that he realizes he overstepped the boundaries on Monday night and that differences in dialect, Adams is a native of New Zealand, contributed to his mistake.

"Different words, different expressions, and stuff like that," Adams said. "But they obviously can be taken differently, depending on which country you’re in. I’m assimilating, mate, still trying to figure out the boundaries. But I definitely overstepped them tonight."
