"Bam Adebayo delivered one of the most remarkable scoring performances in NBA history, erupting for 83 points in a 150-129 win over the Washington Wizards on Tuesday night. The total ranks second all-time, trailing only Wilt Chamberlain's 100-point game and surpassing Kobe Bryant's legendary 81."
"Adebayo shot 20-of-43 from the field, 7-of-22 from three, and a historic 36-of-43 from the free throw line. His 36 made free throws and 43 attempts both set league single-game records."
"An absolutely shocking performance, especially when you consider that Adebayo entered the game averaging only 4.8 free throw attempts per game and had never taken more than 20 in a contest."
"The 28-year-old dominated the Wizards from the opening tip, scoring 31 points in the first quarter, the most in a quarter in Heat franchise history. He reached 43 points by halftime, another franchise record for a half, and had 62 points through three quarters."
