Shaquille O’Neal was in Canada and couldn’t catch the moment live when Bam Adebayo set the second-highest single-game scoring record with 83 points. Since then, though, the four-time NBA champion has shown support for the Heat star through social media and interviews.

On Thursday, the Miami Heat took a 112-105 victory over the Milwaukee Bucks.

With no one able to contain Wembanyama — not even fellow countryman Moussa Diabate, who was plagued by early foul trouble — the Hornets lost to San Antonio 115-102 at Frost Bank Center.

The Wizards did start triple-teaming Adebayo down the stretch, but he had already tallied around 70 points before Washington had the sense of urgency to get the ball out of his hands.
