After the Miami Warmth misplaced by 36 factors to the Utah Jazz again on Jan. 4, they redeemed themselves 4 days later by going onto their dwelling flooring and beating them, 97-92, on Thursday evening. Regardless of the fixed drama between the Warmth and Jimmy Butler, the crew bought their second straight win which was highlighted by a closing-out efficiency from Bam Adebayo as Erik Spoelstra speaks of his strengths. There isn’t a doubt that it has been a comparatively underwhelming season for Adebayo within the taking pictures division as he’s at 45.6 p.c from the sphere in comparison with his profession 54 p.c. Even with the taking pictures struggles, Spoelstra would downplay any fear about that and known as Adebayo the “rock for our crew” in response to Anthony Chiang of The Miami Herald. “I’m not stressed about that,” Spoelstra said. “He’s been such a rock for our team while we’ve been doing a bunch of different things. He [has] the same approach every day. Not many players can do that if you’re missing shots. He checks all the other boxes, coaching guys, and being there when we really needed him. You have great confidence you can get stops when you know he’s back there. We have quite a few coverages and he does them all at an elite level.” -via Clutch Points / January 10, 2025
