Bam beat Sham.
In a back-and-forth game that had Bam Adebayo and Landry Shamet alternately playing hero, Bam won it, nailing a 13-foot step-back over Jeff Green to secure the win in Miami. Shamet was the game’s high scorer with a career-high 30.
It was Miami’s defense that ultimately won it though, not letting the Nets score in the last 3:20. After a 15-2 run put them up midway in the fourth, they lost their shooting touch and Miami took advantage late.
Brooklyn entered the final minute of play nursing a two-point lead. Irving attempted to put the game away for the Nets, but missed a 19-foot pull-up.
