FULL SUPPORT: Bam Adebayo of the Miami Heat takes a shot against Jaren Jackson Jr of the Memphis Grizzlies.

Bam Adebayo scored 24 points and reserve Nikola Jovic added 20 to lead eight double-digit scorers as the Heat (1-1) produced the third-highest one-game point total in team history.

Miami also scored a one-half team record 86 points in the first two quarters in taking a 86-47 halftime lead, the largest in Heat history dating to 1988.

As the scandal swirled around the league on the fourth day of the 2025-26 campaign, Adebayo made it clear Rozier has Heat players’ backing him.

“We stand behind him. Full support,” Adebayo said. “You support him through and through. That’s our brother at the end of the day.”
