Heat's Adebayo Sees Triple-Double Record Revised
In a recent turn of events, Miami Heat's Bam Adebayo saw his record of a 20-rebound triple-double revised by the NBA. Following an audit, the official stats were adjusted to reflect 22 points, 19 rebounds, and 10 assists for Adebayo.
Audit Reveals Mistaken Credit
The revision came after it was discovered that a rebound, initially attributed to Adebayo, had actually been secured by teammate Duncan Robinson. This slight miscalculation led to a change in Adebayo's much-celebrated record.
Despite this adjustment, Adebayo remains among a select group of Heat players who have achieved a triple-double with at least 20 points and 15 rebounds. His performance continues to be instrumental in the team's success.
Adebayo's Recent Performance
In a recent clash against the Memphis Grizzlies, Adebayo put up impressive numbers, scoring 30 points and grabbing 11 rebounds. His standout performance played a crucial role in helping the Heat secure their first road victory of the season. With such consistent performances, Adebayo continues to solidify his position as a key player for the Heat.
Upcoming Challenges
Looking forward, the Miami Heat are set to face the Atlanta Hawks on November 12. The game promises to be a thrilling encounter, with both teams eager to prove their mettle early in the season.
Reactions to the Revision
Upon learning about the stat correction, Miami Heat coach Erik Spoelstra expressed his disappointment. "I didn't hear about it until we got on the airplane," he said, "and my first reaction was, 'That's a buzzkill. Come on. He was doing a big-muscle workout on the glass. Let it go. Was it a tip or whatever? That's 20 rebounds in my book."
Adebayo, however, seemed unfazed by the revision. "It's whatever," he stated nonchalantly. "I've seen a lot of dudes get their stats padded and nobody bats an eye. But it's all good. I'll do it again. It's part of basketball. It is what it is. I just got to make sure I get my 20th rebound next time.”
Despite the slight setback, Adebayo's resolve remains unshaken. His focus now is on the upcoming games and ensuring he continues to deliver for his team.
