Scott Brooks may now be the head coach of the Wizards but the former Thunder head coach still had some nice things to say about Steven Adams.

As the Wizards picked up the 116-98 win over the Thunder Sunday night, Adams started off the night with a strong first quarter, scoring 10 of his 12 total points during the opening frame.

Adams dominated the Wizards’ frontcourt early in the game as he shot a perfect 4-of-4 from the field while he made it look easy, prompting Brooks to credit his physical style of play.

Many players and coaches have often credited Adams with being one of the strongest players in the league given his 7-foot frame and ability to set hard screens for his teammates.

Jimmy Butler infamously marveled at Adams’ strength (NSFW).

“That [expletive] is strong,” Butler said of Adams. “I’m serious, he hit me with one screen today, and I thought my life was over.”

But, while Adams had a strong start Sunday, the Wizards ultimately won the game after outrebounding the Thunder 55-41 and outscoring Oklahoma City 22-13 on second-chance points — two areas the Thunder typically dominate.

As Russell Westbrook pointed out after the game, there are some nights in which teams just don’t have it and that certainly appeared to be the case Sunday against Washington.
