In the final minutes of Game 2 between the Portland Trail Blazers and Oklahoma City Thunder, Steven Adams set a strong screen on Damian Lillard. Lillard was blindsided, not knowing the screen, and he exchanged words with Adams after the fact. In postgame interviews, Steven Adams said (via ESPN's Royce Young):

"That was just a weird situation. It might have hurt but it's not really my problem. It's his big man to let him know he's upset with me. "

NBA legend Charles Barkley called out Adams' screen on TNT's postgame show, saying that while the screen was a "good play," it was also "bush league":

This incident just adds to the growing intensity between these two teams. They will face off in OKC for Game 3 on Friday.
