The Boston Celtics–Miami Heat Game 3 clash was an action-packed thriller, to say the least. The bout witnessed Jimmy Butler, Jayson Tatum, and Marcus Smart leave the game with injuries, with Bam Adebayo leading his team and getting them over the line.
In 41:30 minutes of playing time, Adebayo managed to stuff the stat sheet recording 31 points, 10 rebounds, 6 assists, 4 steals, and a block. His performance helped Miami win Game 3 109-103, going up 2-1 in the Western Conference Finals series.
The undersized center also etched his name in Miami Heat records books, as only the 3rd player in franchise history with multiple playoff games recording 30 points, 10 rebounds, and 60% FG. The All-Star joins the elite company of LeBron James and Dwyane Wade.
