Miami Heat's Bam Adebayo Scores Legendary 83-Point Game
Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo's historic 83-point performance against the Washington Wizards sparks debate over stat-padding and NBA records.
Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo etched his name in the NBA history books with an incredible 83-point outburst against the Washington Wizards on Tuesday, March 10, 2026. However, Adebayo's one-of-a-kind stat line has drawn criticism from some, who accuse the young star of stat-padding to reach this lofty milestone.
Adebayo's performance was nothing short of remarkable, as he set new NBA records for most free throws made (36) and attempted (43) in a single game. He also took 43 field goal attempts, including 22 from beyond the arc, en route to becoming just the second player in league history to score 80 or more points in a game.
