As usual, Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo has taken on a lot of responsibilities this season. Adebayo is in his second season as the Heat’s captain. He’s also expected to anchor the Heat’s defense, box out and rebound at a high level, serve as a hub on the offensive end and make shots. Adebayo has done all of those things well, except make shots.

The Warriors were booed by the home crowd, and many frustrated fans headed out of Chase Center early for a second straight game.

Adebayo is averaging his fewest points (16.1) since the 2019-20 season while shooting a career-low 45 percent from the field.

Butler's All-Star teammate Bam Adebayo appeared to downplay Butler's comments as a result of frustration from the team's loss. “Think it’s a bad night all around," Adebayo said of Butler's comments. "Lose the game, obviously he’s frustrated, he feels like he’s standing in the corner, so he’s got a lot of things going on in his corner."

With Heat star Jimmy Butler serving the second game of his seven-game suspension, the Heat’s defense was suffocating through three quarters. The Heat entered the fourth quarter with a 10-point advantage, limiting the Kings to just 68 points on 38 percent shooting from the field and 6-of-23 (26.1 percent) shooting from three-point range.
