- In a 122-120 win over the Thunder, he posted 30 points and 12 rebounds with a career-high six threes, a first of its kind by a Heat center to pair 30-plus points, 10-plus boards and at least five triples.
- Erik Spoelstra called Adebayo “sensational,” while Norman Powell said the expanded range adds “another element” that opens the floor.
- After an extended slump, Adebayo said he is tuning out criticism and will keep taking open threes with his coach’s approval.
