The habit gets a new name.
Bam Adebayo’s 83-point game was a record-breaking performance, but it was also a masterclass in selective shot-taking and stat-padding. He shot 43 times from the field and 22 times from three. The Heat and Wizards played out the game in a way that allowed Adebayo to get the ball back and pad his stats. Adebayo turned off comments on his Instagram post about the game due to the backlash. The performance was a reminder that records are made to be broken, but also to be scrutinized.
Scoring 83 points is impressive, but doing it with 43 shots is just called Tuesday.
