"Adebayo and Ware became the first set of big men in NBA History to record at least five steals in the same game. Additionally, they are the third pair of Heat players to accomplish that feat, the first since Wayne Ellington and Josh Richardson did so in November of 2018."
"Collectively, the Heat stole the rock 13 times, translating into 20 additional points. Miami led by as many as 27 in the blowout win, finishing a plus-eight in points in the paint, a plus-eight on the glass and a plus-six in the turnover battle."
"Both are playing some of their most impactful basketball - together - this season. Tuesday was still an uneven game from Ware, who finished with 11 points and 13 rebounds on 5-of-8 shooting in 29 minutes off the bench."
The Miami Heat defeated the Brooklyn Nets 124-98 in a dominant performance led by Bam Adebayo's 23 points and nine rebounds. Kel'el Ware contributed 11 points and 13 rebounds off the bench. Both players have been performing at high levels following the All-Star break, with Adebayo recovering from previous injuries and Ware establishing himself in the rotation. The Heat's defensive intensity resulted in 13 steals generating 20 additional points. Adebayo and Ware made history as the first pair of NBA big men to each record five-plus steals in a single game, joining only two other Heat player pairs to accomplish this feat since 2008.
