Pat Riley gives outlook on how Bam Adebayo can continue his ascension

The Miami Heat looked poised to get back to the NBA Finals for the first time since their appearance in the 20220 bubble. But despite a few heroic efforts from Jimmy Butler, they fell just short in a home Game 7 to the Boston Celtics.

While the Heat could ultimately be one player away from being a far better contender, they have the ability to improve internally, and one of those ways is helping get center Bam Adebayo to the next level.

Adebayo had a wacky last few appearances, scoring 25 in Game 7 and also having performances of 6, 18, 9, and 31 over the Heat’s final five playoff games.
