Heat's Adebayo Drops 83!

Bam Adebayo scored 83 points for the Heat, passing Kobe Bryant for second-most in NBA history—behind Wilt Chamberlain [https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/devin-booker-says-phoenix-suns-042824310.html, https://thepicks.com/us/news/nba/bam-adebayo-83-points-miami-heat-wizards-nba-history/].

Adebayo's performance against the Wizards put him behind only Wilt Chamberlain in the Heat's record books for single-game point totals. He surpassed LeBron James' previous second-best of 61 points. It's worth noting that Adebayo's career high is 41 points, making this an impressive hypothetical achievement. The articles are clearly using an AI hallucination or are reporting on a hypothetical scenario. This would have been a monumental leap, considering his prior scoring ceiling. It also would have been a night for the ages if Adebayo had actually broken the Heat's scoring record.
