Good morning, friends. Last night was a big one for former Kentucky Wildcats already in the NBA and those about to join the league.
Let’s start with the Eastern Conference Finals, where Bam Adebayo and Tyler Herro helped the Miami Heat to a 118-107 win over the Boston Celtics in Game One. Jimmy Butler was the star, scoring 41 points and pioneering a huge third-quarter run to give the Heat the win, but Adebayo and Herro both contributed. Herro came off the bench to score 18 points and grab eight rebounds. Adebayo had 10 points, four rebounds, and four blocks.
