Heat center Bam Adebayo on his recent play: “I mean, my teammates are giving me the ball and just playing our game. At the beginning of the season everybody was questioning my shots or whatever, what I needed to do differently,” Adebayo said, with the Heat turning their attention to Friday night’s game against the Minnesota Timberwolves at the start of a five-game homestand. “Nothing changed. I’m still taking the same shots, still being aggressive. The ball’s going in.”
