Bam Adebayo scored 83 points in a thrilling game for the Miami Heat, surpassing Kobe Bryant's 81 points for second place all-time. The Warriors' Kristaps Porzingis and Steve Kerr, who have had numerous battles with Adebayedo over the past nine seasons, expressed confusion over the significance of the performance. The Miami Heat center also attempted and made an NBA record 36 of 43 free throws in a 48-minute game, making 20 of 43 shots, and making 43 foul shots in one game. Despite the team's 33rd loss of the season, social media was overwhelmingly congratulatory. Golden State's Steph Curry and Kerr also expressed their admiration for Adebayeo.
