"It's been a rough last 11 games for Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo. The three-time All-Star was averaging just 11.4 points on a ghastly 37.1 percent shooting over that span, including just six points on 3-of-10 in the Heat's 12-point loss earlier this week to the reigning champion Thunder. Adebayo hasn't quite looked the same since suffering his foot injury in early November."
"He responded in the Heat's six-point win over the Phoenix Suns. Adebayo poured on 29 points on 11-of-15 shooting, knocking down three 3-pointers - his most since Dec. 1 - across 32 minutes. Adebayo capped the Heat's win by scoring 13-straight points down the stretch, including a pair of triples that ignited the 19,700 in attendance inside Kaseya Center. "The ball found the right karma," Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra said after the win."
"Adebayo's 13 fourth-quarter points were the most he's scored in the fourth all season. He's only scored 13 or more in a single quarter two other times this season, including 18 first-quarter points against the Memphis Grizzlies on Oct. 24. The 6-foot-9 big man added a pair of steals and one block in the winning effort, tying the team lead for both."
Bam Adebayo had struggled over an 11-game stretch, averaging 11.4 points on 37.1 percent shooting and showing diminished form since a foot injury in early November. He posted just six points on 3-of-10 in a recent loss to the Thunder. Adebayo rebounded against the Phoenix Suns, scoring 29 points on 11-of-15 shooting and hitting three 3-pointers across 32 minutes. He finished the game with 13 consecutive points in the fourth quarter and added two steals and a block. Miami limited Phoenix to 43.1 percent overall and 16-of-28 at the rim.
