Bam Adebayo celebrates on his way to an astonishing 83-point performance in Miami's win over Washington, the second-highest individual points tally in history

Bam Adebayo erupted for a jaw-dropping 83 points -- the second highest total in NBA history -- as the Miami Heat thrashed the Washington Wizards 150-129 on Tuesday.

Adebayo's astonishing performance surpassed the 81 points scored by Kobe Bryant for the Los Angeles Lakers against Toronto in 2006, and is second only to Wilt Chamberlain's iconic 100-point haul against the New York Knicks in 1962.
