Adams fell to the ground in what looked like a heap of pain. He was ultimately able to get up and walk to the sideline, where he was spotted with blood on his tongue.

Adams, 33, headed into the blue medical tent to get checked out by trainers, but he returned to the game a few minutes later.

Scott, meanwhile, was flagged for a personal foul.
