Grizzlies' Zach Randolph suspended for Game 7 after punching Steven Adams
Steven Adams did an excellent job of containing Zach Randolph in Game 6 of the Memphis Grizzlies' first-round series with the Oklahoma City Thunder.
In addition to posting five blocks and three rebounds through 20 minutes, Adams held Randolph to only two points on 1-of-5 shooting in the second half, ensuring that "Z-Bo" didn't lead a late comeback for the Grizzlies.
The frustration clearly got to Randolph, who landed a right-handed hook on Adams' jaw with 6:42 remaining in the fourth quarter.
Just like every other player who's taken a swing at Adams this season, Randolph has been handed a suspension from the NBA.

Randolph's suspension, combined with Mike Conley's hamstring strain, has left the Grizzlies' rotation looking awfully thin for Game 7.
