Bam Adebayo

Bam Adebayo’s first triple-double in over two years won’t be forgotten anytime soon — it helped usher in one of the most stunning playoff upsets in league history. With his Miami Heat holding a 3-1 First Round series lead over the top-seeded Milwaukee Bucks, Adebayo brought the ball up the court and showed off his impressive handles before he spotted a cutting Jimmy Butler get in front of his defender. Adebayo hit his teammate with a brilliant pass for his 10th assist of the night on an and-1 conversion that cut the Heat’s deficit to three in the final period. Adebayo’s 20 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists helped end Milwaukee’s season with an enthralling come-from-behind 128-126 overtime victory on April 26, 2023, setting up an Eastern Conference semifinals showdown with the New York Knicks.
