BY DARNELL MAYBERRY, Staff WriterAUBURN HILLS, Mich. — Kevin Durant scored a game-high 37 points and came within two rebounds and three assists of a triple-double on Friday night. And all anyone is likely to be talking about a day later is the play of Steven Adams. The rookie center out of Pittsburgh continues to impress with strong play early this season, and against one of the league's best front lines Adams took home his first double-double in the Thunder's 119-110 victory at Detroit. Adams scored 17 points, shot 7-for-10 from the field, grabbed 10 rebounds, dished three assists and blocked three shots in 30 minutes off the bench.
