Not Everyone Overjoyed by Adebayo’s 83-Point Night
- On Tuesday night, Bam Adebayo scored 83 points against the Washington Wizards, setting single-game free-throw records with 36 made and 43 attempts under NBA review.
- The Heat were shorthanded, missing the equivalent of 71 points in scoring average, and repeatedly fouled late to create extra possessions, as coach Erik Spoelstra said he aimed to get Adebayo more touches once he reached 50 points.
- Adebayo finished 20 of 43 from the field, 7 of 22 from 3 and 36 of 43 at the free-throw line, with 31 in the first quarter and all final seven points at the line.
- The NBA is reviewing the foul calls that produced many free throws, an audit that can take multiple days, while Wizards coach Brian Keefe said the fourth quarter 'turned into not a real basketball game.'
- Adebayo's 83 surpasses Kobe Bryant's 81 as the second-highest single-game total, with observers invoking Wilt Chamberlain's 100 while media commentators debated the effort and tactics.
