Bam Adebayo's Historic Night
Bam Adebayo exploded for 83 points against the Wizards ‘It’s Wilt, me, then Kobe’—Adebayo Drops 83 in Historic Night | The Picks [1] [2] [3] — passing Kobe for second-highest single-game score ever.
Adebayo's performance is the highest-scoring game since Kobe Bryant's 81-point performance in 2006. Only Wilt Chamberlain's 100-point game surpasses Adebayo's total. Adebayo also had 25 rebounds and 10 assists, making him the first player in NBA history to record a triple-double with at least 80 points. The Wizards struggled to contain Adebayo, who shot 76% from the field and 90% from the free-throw line. His dominance in the paint and ability to draw fouls proved too much for Washington's defense.
