Bam Adebayo

It did not take Bam Adebayo very long to redeem himself for an inopportune fourth-quarter turnover in Game 4 of the NBA Finals. The Miami Heat center got tangled up with Christian Braun while looking to pass the ball to Duncan Robinson, leading to a steal for the Denver Nuggets. Jamal Murray appeared to have a clear path to a transition layup, only to have a hustling Adebayo chase him down before landing an emphatic two-handed rejection off the glass. With the Heat trailing by 10, Adebayo’s block kept the crowd in the game as he and his squad attempted to rally. The two-time All-Star registered his 10th double-double of the postseason with 20 points, 11 rebounds and three assists on June 9, 2023.
