Jordan Poole, Bam Adebayo
Tuesday night’s game between Bam Adebayo and the Miami Heat versus Jordan Poole and the Golden State Warriors ended with a Heat victory after four quarters of action. Although there were many highlight plays throughout the game, Adebayo’s vicious block on Poole, which broke the internet, was the most memorable.
Golden State Warriors, the defending NBA champions, have had a lackluster start to the new season with five losses in their first eight games. The Warriors are predicted to turn things around with Stephen Curry in the mix, but they’ll also need more from other players. The Miami Heat entered today’s game against the Warriors with a record of 2-5 and were dissatisfied about it, but after turning things around they defeated the 2022 champions. It is easy to see from just one play that Heat standout Bam Adebayo was felt strongly throughout the game.
A little while after the start of the second quarter, Jordan Poole stole the ball from Miami’s Max Struss to start a fastbreak for the Warriors. As he went down the court by noticing that only Caleb Martin was in front of him, he decided to drive on the play and lay it towards the basket. As soon as Poole did a step around and rose to score the step around layup, he was denied by Bam Adebayo with a monster block, who grabbed the ball from the backboard with ease, showing his unreal athleticism.
The Heat takes down the defending champions at Miami
The Heat defeated the Golden State Warriors 116-109 on Tuesday night despite Stephen Curry’s triple-double, thanks to a late run of five straight points from Jimmy Butler and 24 points from Max Strus, who led everyone else. Butler scored 23 points, Bam Adebayo added 19, Duncan Robinson added 17, and Kyle Lowry added 13 for Miami, who won their third game of the season in which the Heat entered Tuesday night’s action after recently suffering a defeat to the winless Sacramento Kings.
For the Warriors, who are currently 3-5, lost their third straight game and are 0-4 on the road, Stephen Curry produced 23 points, 13 rebounds, and 13 assists and Klay Thompson added 19 points, while Andrew Wiggins added 21. In the second and third quarters, the Warriors outscored Miami 70-53, creating an eight-point advantage going into the fourth. Jimmy Butler and company tightened their defence, restricting the Dubs to only 15 points in the fourth quarter and Miami scored 30 points during that period to secure the victory.
NBA fans react to Bam Adebayo’s monstrous block on Jordan Poole
In comparison to their previous games, the Warriors’ defence against the Heat was a little bit stronger. The Heat were outstanding defensively today, as always, particularly demonstrated by Bam Adebayo’s tremendous block on Jordan Poole. Max Struss drove to the basket for two points on the opposite end after the block, forcing the Warriors to seek a timeout in addition to electrifying the crowd.
This is how fans from YouTube reacted to this block:
Fans on Instagram had their great reactions too:
Twitter fans around the world had their fair share of reactions as well:
Golden State is still willing to keep working hard under Curry’s leadership in order to turn things around and get off to the season’s anticipated start. But if any NBA champion visits them, Jimmy Butler and company often become virtually unplayable. The Miami Heat defeated the Golden State Warriors at Chase Center on Thursday, but the roles were reversed this time.
