Heat center Bam Adebayo on his big game Saturday against the Washington Wizards in Mexico City: “My teammates got me going from the jump,” Adebayo said. “We’re pros, man. Once we see the ball go in a couple of times, it becomes like an ocean.

“And then you just get in a flow and you just get locked in, it just feels like the ball’s going to go in every time for you.”
