After scoring 18 factors in Group USA’s victory over South Sudan, Bam Adebayo had a quieter recreation Saturday in opposition to Puerto Rico. A lot in order that he was embarrassed his NBA workforce celebrated it.
The Miami Heat posted a message of congratulations to Adebayo, who completed with three factors in Group USA’s 104-83 win over Puerto Rico. He added 5 rebounds and two steals, plus three assists, however Adebayo wasn’t all that happy with his “quadruple single.”
Adebayo has been nice in worldwide play, however on a workforce stuffed with All-Stars, everybody’s counting statistics suffered. Scoring leaders Anthony Edwards (25 factors) and Joel Embiid (15 factors) mixed to take 29 pictures, almost 38% of the workforce’s makes an attempt.
Throughout a recreation through which Steve Kerr appeared decided to get Joel Embiid and the once-benched Jayson Tatum going (Tatum had a 10-point, 10-rebound effort) and Edwards was unstoppable (capturing 11-for-15) there merely wasn’t room for Adebayo to go off.
Though if he had managed to dam a shot, the Warmth might have posted about his quintuple-single as an alternative. Although he would most likely favor to have merely scored just a few extra factors.
