Miami Heat made history on Monday night with a 106-90 victory over the Washington Wizards as Bam Adebayo broke Rony Seikaly’s franchise all-time record for double-doubles. With 47.2 seconds left in the second period, Adebayo secured his 10th rebound of the night, reaching 222 career Heat double-doubles. Seikaly, the Heat’s first-ever draft pick in 1988, was present to witness the moment and expressed his gratitude for still holding records with the talented players who have been part of the organization.
The Heat, who had only nine players available, started with Adebayo, Kevin Love, Alec Burks, Tyler Herro, and Terry Rozier. The game marked the 12th of the Heat’s 15 back-to-back sets this season, and coach Erik Spoelstra emphasized the importance of not underestimating the Wizards, even though they have the league’s worst record.
Spoelstra praised Love’s readiness and impact on the team, similar to Burks, for providing a solid veteran presence in the locker room. Herro extended his streak to 83 consecutive regular-season games scoring in double figures.
Seikaly, who played his last game with the Heat in 1994, reflected on his time with the team and expressed his joy at witnessing Adebayo breaking his record. The Heat will face the Wizards again in their season finale, with Adebayo solidifying his place in Heat franchise history.
