Wilt, me, then Kobe, crazy-Bam Adebayo

It's Wilt, then Bam.

- BY TIM REYNOLDS The Associated Press

Bam Adebayo had a night for all time on Tuesday, with a point total second to only Wilt Chamberlain in the National Basketball Association (NBA) record books.Adebayo scored 83 points, setting league marks for free throws made and attempted in a game for the Miami Heat in a 150-129 win over the Washington Wizards.

"An absolutely surreal night," Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. "Obviously, we've been blessed to have been part of a lot of big moments in this arena. This one, it just happened. Moments happen and I'm grateful that we're all able to be a part of it and witness it."

Chamberlain's record of 100 points has stood since 1962.

Kobe Bryant—one of Adebayo's basketball heroes—was No. 2 on the list with 81.

Adebayo never thought he'd be in that club.

And then came a night he'll never forget.

"Wilt, me, then Kobe," Adebayo said. "It sounds crazy."

Adebayo's final numbers: 20 of 43 from the field, 36 of 43 from the foul line, 7 for 22 from three-point range.
