Kiwi centre Steven Adams has helped the Oklahoma City Thunder to a 124-107 win over the Toronto Raptors on Thursday (NZ time).

The big man only missed one shot as he scored 18 points and pulled down nine rebounds - along with four steals - as the Thunder won their sixth-straight match.

One of Adams' eight baskets stood out from the rest late in the match - when he got the ball near the basket and soared high, dunking on Jonas Valanciunas. It made the Thunder fans go crazy.

Teammate Paul George scored a game-high 33 points, while Russell Westbrook contributed 30 points, along with 13 assists.

CJ Miles top-scored for the Raptors, scoring 20 points in the match.

After trailing at the end of the first quarter, the Thunder rallied back to take a 66-63 halftime lead.

Both teams traded blows early in the third quarter, but Oklahoma went on an 18-10 run to close out the third and led 102-88, which ultimately sealed the win.

The Thunder will look to continue their hot form when they face the Milwaukie Bucks in their next match on Saturday (NZ time).
