The star big man has been an unstoppable force, singlehandedly leading the Heat while outscoring the entire Washington Wizards at home.
In the first quarter alone, Adebayo exploded for 31 points. He went 10-of-16 from the field and splashed five of his eight three-pointers.
The helpless Wizards team, on the other hand, couldn't contain him and match his scoring outburst as they just tallied 29 points collectively.
As such, Adebayo has tied Wilt Chamberlain for the fourth most points in a quarter in NBA history. Klay Thompson remains atop after dropping a memorable 36-point performance in the third quarter against the Sacramento Kings 11 years ago.
Adebayo is averaging 18.9 points, 9.8 rebounds and 2.9 assists in 57 games for the Heat this season.
