Kiwi NBA star Adams sorry for ‘monkeys’ remark after Thunder win (AFP)

Oklahoma City center Steven Adams has apologized after describing the Golden State Warriors players as "quick little monkeys" during a post-game interview following his team's stunning Western Conference finals win. The towering New Zealander described his comments in the immediate aftermath of Oklahoma City's 108-102 as "a poor choice of words" for which he was truly sorry. Adams had been asked by an ESPN reporter to comment on the difficulty the Thunder, a notably taller team, had faced in trying to contain the shorter and nimble Warriors offense.
