"Adebayo's homestand was arguably his best three-game stretch of the season. Against Oklahoma City, he tallied a team-high 30 points, grabbing 12 boards - including six offensive - with a career-high six 3-point makes on 10 attempts. He had made just six 3-pointers over his previous 14 games before his most recent three-game stretch, where he buried 13 (on 23 attempts)."
"Adebayo became the first center in Miami Heat history to record at least 30 points, 10 rebounds and five made 3-pointers in a single game. Only three other Heat players - regardless of position - have reached those benchmarks in the franchise's history. Only five centers - three-time MVP Nikola Jokic, Karl-Anthony Towns, Alperen Sengun, Onyeka Okongwu and Victor Wembanyama - have recorded that stat line in a single game this season. Okongwu (2) and Jokic (2) are the only two to do it multiple times."
Bam Adebayo experienced an uneven season while nursing multiple injuries, averaging 12.4 points on 39.9 percent shooting and a 45.7 percent true shooting during a 13-game stretch from Dec. 6 to Jan. 11. He then produced stronger outings, scoring 29 points on 11-of-15 shooting against the Phoenix Suns and 22 points against the Boston Celtics. During a three-game homestand he scored 30 points and grabbed 12 rebounds against Oklahoma City, making six 3-pointers on 10 attempts. He had made just six 3-pointers over his previous 14 games before converting 13 on 23 attempts in that stretch. He became the first Heat center to record at least 30 points, 10 rebounds and five made 3-pointers in a single game, joining only a handful of centers around the league who have produced that stat line this season.
