Miami Heat need another Bam Adebayo game for Brooklyn win and beyond
The Miami Heat weren’t able to get the win on Saturday night in Brooklyn. While they weren’t successful as a team, one of their guys did have his biggest night ever as a basketball player.
On any level of playing, Bam Adebayo has never had a night like he had on Saturday. He was attacking offensively, taking what the defense gave him, and most often, that involved him taking his now, automatic seeming, mid ranged jumper.
Basically, he was on another planet. He would finish with 41 points, nine rebounds, and five assists on 14-20 shooting from the floor and 1-1 from range, a buzzer beater to close the half.

The Miami Heat will need more Bam Adebayo games like this.
The Miami Heat face off against the Nets again on Monday and in order to get a win, especially without their full roster of guys back for this one either, they will need another showing like this one from Adebayo. It’s bigger than just the Nets game though, they will need this type of performance from him going forward.
That’s mainly for three reasons. The first reason is because if they plan to make another title run, as they did last season, they will need him to play at this level to help get them there.
Secondly, because he has shown it to us now. We have been asking for a more aggressive Bam and he gave it to us.
This is the expectation now, because we know what he is capable of. Lastly, because he has shown himself.
In anything, most of us are aware of our capabilities, but there are also a lot of us who don’t believe in that until we see or live through doing it. Bam has just had that moment.
He knew what he was capable of, because he knows his ability and the work he puts in. To see yourself do it in live action though and against the new look Brooklyn Nets, then well, that’s totally different.
