Bam Adebayo produced the second-highest single-game scoring total in NBA history, scoring 83 points as the Miami Heat defeated the Washington Wizards 150-129 on Tuesday night.

The 28-year-old center scored 31 points in the first quarter, surpassing Kobe Bryant’s 81-point effort in 2006. Wilt Chamberlain’s 100-point game in 1962 remains the NBA record.

In 42 minutes, Adebayo shot 20-for-43 from the floor, 7-for-22 from 3-point range, and 36-for-43 at the free-throw line, while grabbing nine rebounds. He also set NBA single-game records for most free throws made and attempted, surpassing the previous marks held by Chamberlain, Adrian Dantley, and Dwight Howard.

Washington has now lost nine straight games, with Alex Sarr leading the Wizards with 28 points.
