Good morning, NBA fans! There’s a pretty significant football game happening in Lexington in just a few hours, which means you need something to distract yourself from playing out all 500 different scenarios that could happen between Louisville and Kentucky this afternoon. Lucky for you, the NBA was loaded with action on Friday night, with 28 of the league’s 30 teams in action.
The BBNBA star of the night was Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo, who has played well this season, but not exactly up to preseason expectations. Friday night was hopefully his “I’m here” moment of the year, as he dropped a season-high 38 points to go along with 12 rebounds, three assists, and zero turnovers while shooting 15-22 from the floor in 35 minutes.
