The Miami Heat delivered a decisive 112-105 victory over the Milwaukee Bucks, making sure to have some fun afterward. Coming off Bam Adebayo's historic 83-point performance, the Bucks posted a score graphic noting Adebayo didn't reach that mark again. Miami's social media team responded with a pointed comeback, tweeting 'Didn't need to... clearly...'

The Heat's win secured their season series over Milwaukee, 2-1. Adebayo managed 21 points on 8-of-20 shooting, his lowest total following a 75-point game. Despite the modest scoring, he extended his streak of 20-point games to eight, matching his second-longest streak ever. Pelle Larsson contributed 28 points to help seal the victory.

Milwaukee's third consecutive loss puts them six games out of the final play-in spot, making a playoff rematch unlikely this season. Heat coach Erik Spoelstra had defended Adebayo's 83-point outburst earlier in the week, declaring 'I apologize to absolutely no one.' The social media exchange shows Miami's confidence after taking two of three meetings against the Bucks.
