As usual, Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo has taken on a lot of responsibilities this season. Adebayo is in his second season as the Heat’s captain. He’s also expected to anchor the Heat’s defense, box out and rebound at a high level, serve as a hub on the offensive end and make shots. Adebayo has done all of those things well, except make shots.

Bam Adebayo had 19 points, nine rebounds and five assists with two timely dunks down the stretch, and the Miami Heat snapped a three-game losing streak by beating the Golden State Warriors 114-98 on Tuesday night.

Adebayo is averaging his fewest points (16.1) since the 2019-20 season while shooting a career-low 45 percent from the field.

Butler's All-Star teammate Bam Adebayo appeared to downplay Butler's comments as a result of frustration from the team's loss. “Think it’s a bad night all around," Adebayo said of Butler's comments. "Lose the game, obviously he’s frustrated, he feels like he’s standing in the corner, so he’s got a lot of things going on in his corner."

Tyler Herro scored 32 points, Bam Adebayo flirted with a triple-double and the Miami Heat beat the New Orleans Pelicans 119-108.
