"On top of those two wins (they also endured one loss last week), Miami had something happen that hasn't happened in several weeks, and that was the uptick in play from Bam Adebayo, who, averaged 27 points last week, and played some of the best games he's played all season, eventually earning the Eastern Conference Player of the Week honors. The question is, was last week a one-off, or will this help Adebayo going forward?"
"Adebayo's 27 points, 8.3 rebounds, and 4.3 assists in Miami's three games last week helped them go 2-1. Against the Suns, Celtics, and Thunder, Adebayo scored 29, 22, and 30 points. This week, he has already had one 30-point game against the Kings but fell flat against the Warriors, scoring only four points. Still, all in all, Adebayo's recent stretch has seen him play much better basketball."
The Miami Heat are on a five-game road swing and are 1-1 so far after a blowout loss to the Golden State Warriors and a regrouping win over the Sacramento Kings. The previous week included two surprising wins over the Phoenix Suns and Oklahoma City Thunder, plus one loss. Bam Adebayo produced an uptick in play, averaging 27 points, 8.3 rebounds, and 4.3 assists across three games and earning Eastern Conference Player of the Week. He scored 29, 22, and 30 in key games, but has also had inconsistent outings, such as four points versus the Warriors. Miami remains reliant on Adebayo when he scores 20+ points for improved team performance.
