Spoelstra’s 83-point push sparks debate as Carbery backs the decision

Bam Adebayo scored 83 points against the Wizards in a Heat win, with Erik Spoelstra leaving him in during garbage time and capitalizing on late fouling to generate extra possessions; Adebayo also set an NBA record with 43 free-throw attempts (36 made). The move drew criticism, but Spencer Carbery said on a DC radio show that you can’t pull a player off a historic night and would keep him in, arguing the moment belongs to the player and his teammates rather than the coach’s judgment.
