Every time Miami Heat star Bam Adebayo knocked down a free throw, shouting was heard as the players gave their reactions to history being made in Miami.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Adebayo broke the late great Kobe Bryant&#8217;s record for the second-most points ever scored in a game as he had 83 points in a win over the Washington Wizards. He shot 20-for-43 from the floor, 7-for-22 from deep, and a ridiculous 36-for-43 from the foul line and there was some shameless activity going on to create extra possessions for him to break Bryant&#8217;s record, but 83 points is still 83 points and it&#8217;s a night nobody will forget.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">&#8220;Shoutout Bam!&#8221; laughed VJ Edgecombe. &#8220;Shoutout Bam. Congrats to him. That&#8217;s all I got. Congrats! I mean, he had 80 What? 83? Second all-time. Nah, that&#8217;s amazing, man. Shoutout Bam.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Cam Payne had his own historic night for the Sixers as he shot a ridiculous 8-for-8 from deep off the bench in the win over the Grizzlies. The eight 3s are the most in Sixers franchise history without a miss from beyond the arc. When asked about Adebayo&#8217;s night, Payne admittedly is focused on himself.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">&#8220;I was worried about Cam Payne, honestly!&#8221; Payne laughed. &#8220;Bam can\u2019t take my night! Shoutout to Bam, though. I&#8217;m a big-time Kobe fan, so, that&#8217;s like, huge for someone that scored that many points in a game, but man, I&#8217;m taking it, man. This my night. March 10. That\u2019s all me.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Need a news break? <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" data-t-l=\":body nav (play)|e|auto spike click:6|\u2691u\" class=\"gnt_ar_b_sp_a\" href=\"https:\/\/play.usatoday.com\/?itm_source=SPIKE&amp;itm_campaign=PLAYSPIKE&amp;itm_medium=ONSITE\">Check out the all new PLAY hub with puzzles, games and more!<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Kelly Oubre Jr. was on the floor the night Joel Embiid scored a franchise-record 70 points back in January of 2024. He gave his love to Adebayo for scoring 83, but he wanted to make things clear when comparing the two performances.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">&#8220;One thing I\u2019m gonna say is it\u2019s definitely legendary, the box score, right?&#8221; Oubre said. &#8220;The number and shoutout to Bam, right? He&#8217;s just implementing himself in history, and I&#8217;m kind of salty that he bested Kobe. He\u2019s one of my favorite players, for sure, but I&#8217;m gonna just say this man, Joel did it efficiently, and he did it in three quarters.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">When Embiid scored 70, he shot 24-for-41 from the floor and 21-for-23 from the foul line as well as 1-for-2 from deep. Either way, both are phenomenal performances and Adebayo&#8217;s night will be remembered in NBA history forever.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"March 10, 2026, 11:03 p.m. ET PHILADELPHIA &#8212; The sounds from outside a victorious locker room for the&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":652089,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3769],"tags":[679,72400,7,6,678,207,3817,72473,72474,72404,80983,72405,72406,72479,72403],"class_list":{"0":"post-652088","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-philadelphia-76ers","8":"tag-76ers","9":"tag-accessfree","10":"tag-basketball","11":"tag-nba","12":"tag-philadelphia","13":"tag-philadelphia-76ers","14":"tag-philadelphia76ers","15":"tag-sstssportsnbasixers","16":"tag-sstsnsixers","17":"tag-tagbasketball","18":"tag-tagcameron-payne","19":"tag-tagoverall-positive","20":"tag-tagsports-news","21":"tag-tagvj-edgecombe","22":"tag-typestory"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nba\/116208828250811388","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/652088","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=652088"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/652088\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/652089"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=652088"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=652088"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=652088"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
