Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo recorded 83 points during Tuesday’s win over the Washington Wizards, surpassing the late Kobe Bryant for the second-most points in a game in NBA history.

Adebayo reached the milestone with a pair of free throws late in the fourth quarter to officially surpass Bryant, who scored 81. It all started in the first quarter when Adebayo outscored the entire Wizards team 31-29.

The record now stands as his alone after he surpassed LeBron James for the most points ever in a single quarter in Miami Heat franchise history, also surpassing Bryant’s record of 30 points for the fifth-most in a quarter in NBA history.
