Bam Adebayo recorded 22 points (9-of-20 FGs), nine rebounds, one assist and four three-pointers in 40 minutes in Saturday’s loss to the Cavaliers in Game 3.
Adebayo appeared to be one of the few Heat players to understand what was on the line Saturday afternoon, with the 37-point loss dropping them into an 0-3 hole. With the defeat, Miami has now lost its last seven home playoff games, which does not bode well for its chances of extending the series in Game 4 on Monday. At the very least, Adebayo can be counted on to compete at a high level.
