Adebayo Drops 83!
Miami Heat's Bam Adebayo exploded for 83 points against the Wizards — the second-highest single-game total in NBA history [https://espn.com/nba/story/_/id/48168997/bam-adebayo-scores-83-second-most-points-nba-history], trailing only Wilt Chamberlain's 100 [https://yardbarker.com/nba/articles/nba_roundup_bam_adebayos_83_point_effort_ranks_2nd_all_time/s1_17045_43581026].
Adebayo also grabbed 15 rebounds and had 6 assists in the Heat's victory over Washington. He shot an incredible 30-for-39 from the field and 21-for-22 from the free throw line. The Wizards struggled to contain Adebayo, who scored from all over the court. Washington's Kristaps Porzingis, who typically provides a strong defensive presence, was largely ineffective against Adebayo's size and skill. Heat coach Erik Spoelstra praised Adebayo's performance, calling it a "historic night" for the organization. He also noted Adebayo's dedication to improving his offensive game, which has clearly paid off.
