Houston Rockets<\/a> star Steven Adams, known for his dry sense of humour, had basketball fans in stitches after a hilarious exchange following Game 6 against the Warriors.<\/p>\n

The Kiwi center, who had an outstanding game in his side’s eight-point win, was being praised by reporters in the press room post-match.<\/p>\n

‘Thank you, bro,’ he replied to one.<\/p>\n

‘I just follow the game plan, defensive game plan, read, communicate.<\/p>\n

‘It just comes down to the defensive system. It’s not like I’m going every time.<\/p>\n

‘The boys on the ball were doing a really good job in making sure these guys throw up and off balance shot. Those are the ones you can go after.’<\/p>\n

The much-loved center is one of the NBA’s most loveable characters<\/p>\n

It was then that Adams was caught off-guard as he overheard an Aussie accent in the press room, to which he paused and laughed, ‘Oh, f–k off’.<\/p>\n

Adams then quickly covered his mouth realising where he was and that he was surrounded by microphones.<\/p>\n

‘He’s Australian, I had to,’ he explained to the press room.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Golden State coach Steve Kerr praised Adams, whose 31 minute contribution was exceptional.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘Adams was fantastic tonight,’ Kerr said.<\/p>\n

‘They controlled the game while he was out there.’<\/p>\n

The Rockets will attempt to become the 14th team to come from 3-1 down to win an NBA playoff series.<\/p>\n

The team that wins the series will take on Minnesota Timberwolves, who beat the Los Angeles Lakers in five games.<\/p>\n
