The Heat scored 78 points in the second half of a game that didn’t involve Bam Adebayo or Tyler Herro
Just have to keep coming back to that – 11:40 PM

Spoelstra says Bam Adebayo’s injury isn’t serious, but he decided it was best to hold Bam out instead of allowing him to fight thru a nagging injury. – 10:32 PM

End of 1st half: Pacers 73, Heat 64
Butler 12 pts
Richardson 11 pts
Martin 10 pts
Two biggest storylines of the 1st half were Tyrese Haliburton going nuclear (28 pts) and Bam Adebayo exiting the 2nd Q early to go to the locker room. Adebayo’s current status is still unclear. – 8:45 PM

Bam Adebayo just walked to the locker room with trainers. He was grimacing on his last few trips up the floor. May have taken a shot on that sore hip. – 8:25 PM

Per @cleantheglass, Bam Adebayo is one of 14 players this season shooting 45% or better on 100+ mid-range attempts.
Eight of those 14 have made an All-NBA team before. Is Bam the next up-and-coming star to make that jump?

“Shoot the ball. Worry about everything else later.”
Bam Adebayo’s offensive evolution isn’t just about the numbers. He’s finally matching his rare skill set with the kind of aggression that’s required from stars.
It’s all coming together for him.

More on this storyline
Ira Winderman: The Heat have upgraded Haywood Highsmith to available for tonight vs. Pacers. He missed Tuesday vs. Bucks with back contusion sustained Saturday in Brooklyn. Bam Adebayo (hip), Duncan Robinson (thumb) also now listed as available. Jimmy Butler (ankle) still questionable. -via Twitter @IraHeatBeat / November 30, 2023
Aside from the pride that comes with those honors, being voted as the Defensive Player of the Year and/or being selected for one of the three All-NBA teams would make Bam Adebayo eligible to sign a four-year $245 million supermax extension this upcoming offseason. “I think he should be a lock for All-NBA this year,” Josh Richardson said. “He’s really been carrying a lot of the load for us this year.” -via Miami Herald / November 30, 2023
Bam Adebayo is quickly realizing what he’s capable of on the offensive end after averaging 6.9 points per game as a rookie in the 2017-18 season. Adebayo is now on pace to become the eighth different player in NBA history to average at least 23 points, 10 rebounds and four assists per game while shooting 52 percent or better from the field in a season. The others on that list are Antetokounmpo, Nikola Jokic, Joel Embiid, Wilt Chamberlain, Larry Bird, Charles Barkley and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. “Shoot the ball,” Adebayo said when asked about his progression on offense. “I feel like that’s been my evolution. It sounds very simple. But I came into this league as a defender and then to this point I’m taking 27 shots. So I feel like the progression has just been shoot the ball and worry about everything else later.” -via Miami Herald / November 30, 2023
