Bam Adebayo scored 83 points Tuesday against the Wizards. Wait, what? Yes, really.
The Miami Heat star big man put up the second-highest single game scoring total in NBA history, behind only Wilt Chamberlain’s infamous 100-point game. He went 20-for-43 from the field, 7-for-22 from three-point range and 36-for-43 from the free-throw line. With the historic performance, Adebayo broke the single-game record for most free-throw attempts that was previously held by Dwight Howard. He set a Heat franchise record with 31 first-quarter points and finished the first half with 43.
