Bam Adebayo scored 83 points in a game against the Wizards last week, moving him past Kobe Bryant for second on the all-time single-game scoring list. The incident sparked controversy, with some blaming the Wizards for not doing more to stop him. However, Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra defended the Wizards' tanking plans, stating that there is nothing wrong with what they're doing. He also acknowledged that the Wizards only lost the second half by seven points, but also commended their efforts. The question is whether other players will attempt to rise up the single-match scoring rankings when they face the tanking teams. The Wizards have lost 12 consecutive games and are currently ranked 2nd and 3rd respectively. The Nets, the Grizzlies, and the Grizzlies have both lost eight consecutive games.
