Miami Heat Playoffs: Victor Oladipo And Bam Adebayo Lead Them To Game 5 Win

That’s just what happened too, as the Miami Heat would finish the Hawks off, 97-94, in a Game 5 that came down to the last few plays.

In the process, the Heat would continue to harass Trae Young, as they had all series, holding him to just 11 points, eight rebounds, and six assists on 2-1 shooting from the floor and 0-5 from range in Game 5.

He would also finish this contest with six giveaways for his team.

Enough about how they clamped the other team’s best player though, here’s how the Miami Heat’s two leading scorers played on the night.

In a resurging performance, Victor Oladipo continued to build upon his regular season-ending performance against his former team, the Orlando Magic. He would be joined in the heavy lifting by his fellow teammate of Nigerian heritage in Adebayo.

They both had their hands all over the game but like the best players tend to and need to do, they would make their biggest plays in the biggest moments of the game.
