Bam Adebayo shuddered when the subject regarding Miami Heat teammate Gabe Vincent was broached.
“Now why would you jinx my man like that?” Adebayo responded incredulously to the question.
Vincent, by contrast, did not take umbrage, but only after offered mock indignation by his locker.
“I got confidence in myself,” he said with a smile, “so I think I’ll be alright.”
In a statistic the Heat themselves have tracked for months, Vincent went into Saturday night’s game against the visiting Charlotte Hornets having not missed a free throw in the fourth quarter or overtime dating to last season, 28 of 28 entering Saturday over that span.
