After a 31-point opening quarter, Adebayo entered halftime with 43 points to his name and a statline that would have been incredibly impressive for an entire contest. He shot 13-of-24 from the field and made five 3-pointers in the first 24 minutes of the game. Adebayo’s previous career high was 41 points, so that feat was already accomplished before he hit the locker room.

Naturally, Adebayo accounted for much of the team’s offense in the first half. They carried a 14-point lead into the third quarter, and Simone Fontecchio was the only other player to hit double figures — he had 11 points — in the first half. No other player had more than three made field goals, and Adebayo accounted for nearly two-thirds of the team’s made 3-pointers. His 43 points were the most points scored in any half by a player in Heat history.

But perhaps the biggest moment of the first half was a massive two-handed dunk that Adebayo threw down through Wizards center Alex Sarr.

Adebayo didn’t slow down in the second half, either. He surpassed Jokić’s mark midway through the third quarter with a pair of free throws, which got him to 58 points on the night. He ended the third quarter with 62 points, and kept the Heat well out in front.

Adebayo’s final points of the third quarter, which he got on a breakaway one-handed dunk, broke the franchise single-game scoring record previously set by LeBron James and matched Kobe Bryant’s play-by-play era scoring record.

Though it almost certainly wasn’t needed, Adebayo started the fourth quarter and kept right on going. He hit the 70-point mark while fighting to the rim and powering in a layup through contact with more than nine minutes left in the game.

Adebayo passed Chamberlain’s second-highest scoring outing with a pair of free throws with about two minutes left on the clock. He then hit two more free throws, his 33rd and 34th of the night, to match Bryant’s 81-point outing.

But Adebayo didn’t stop there, either. He kept attacking, and drew another foul with 1:16 left in the game to surpass Bryant’s mark. With 83 points in the books, head coach Eric Spoelstra finally pulled Adebayo from the contest.

Adebayo finished shooting 20-of-43 from the field and 7-of-22 from the 3-point line. He went 36-of-43 from the free throw line, too. Adebayo entered the night averaging 18.9 points and 9.8 rebounds per game this season, his ninth with the Heat.
