Bam Adebayo erupted for a stunning 83 points, propelling the Miami Heat to a 150-129 blowout of the Washington Wizards on Tuesday.
This incredible performance marks the second-highest single-game scoring total in NBA history, surpassing Kobe Bryant’s 81-point game for the Los Angeles Lakers against Toronto in 2006, and trailing only Wilt Chamberlain’s iconic 100-point game against the New York Knicks in 1962.
Even LeBron James took to X to react to Adebayo’s historic night.
