Raymond Felton couldn't care less that he's nearly a foot shorter than Steven Adams. If he did, he'd think twice before getting physical under the basket with the 7-foot New Zealander like he did Thursday.
After trying to box out Adams on a jumper from Serge Ibaka, Felton proceeded to deliver a stiff forearm to the Oklahoma City Thunder big man's chest, who didn't appear to do anything overly physical on the possession.
Even so, both Adams and Felton were assessed technical fouls for their involvement in what may have turned a lot uglier had teammates not intervened.
Raymond Felton : "Just because I'm 6-1, I ain't gonna back down for nothing. I ain't gonna let anybody hit me in the face and let that go."
