Stone Cold Steve Adams has struck again.

The Thunder’s unflinching rookie center has infuriated another opponent. He’s baited another into retaliation. And in doing so, he’s made his greatest contribution to the Thunder cause.

Late in Game 6 on Thursday night, as Adams and Zach Randolph were entangled behind a fast break, the Grizzlies’ All-Star forward swung and nailed Adams with a swift punch across the right jaw.

Referees didn’t catch it at the time, but the NBA released video of the incident on Friday afternoon. And with it, the league announced a surprising suspension for Randolph, who will miss Game 7 on Saturday night in Oklahoma City.
