Tuesday night served as a good reminder that anything can happen on any given night of NBA basketball.
On what was an otherwise interesting but not all that notable evening, Bam Adebayo scored 83 points against the Wizards. Eighty-three freaking points! He passed Kobe Bryant for the second-most points in a single game behind Wilt Chamberlain’s famous 100-point outing. It took Adebayo 42 minutes, 43 free throw attempts, 43 shots from the field and some intentional fouling down the stretch to maximize possessions—but he did it.
