Bam Adebayo and Giannis Antetokounmpo each scored 37 points as the Miami Heat beat the Cleveland Cavaliers 133-121 on Nov. 13. Adebayo added 14 rebounds, and the win moved Miami to 2-0 in its NBA Cup group, according to the NBA’s game record and independent game reports.

A rare scoring night for Miami

The 37-point performances made this only the second time in Heat history that two teammates reached at least 37 points in the same game. The previous instance was LeBron James and Dwyane Wade in 2013, the Associated Press reported. Miami’s official game recap also highlighted the pair’s combined 74 points.

Adebayo’s 14 rebounds added a second dimension to his night, while Miami’s 12-point margin gave the team a useful result in the in-season tournament’s group stage. The Cavaliers fell to 1-1 in East Group B.

What the result means for the NBA Cup

Miami’s 2-0 start leaves it in control of its path through East Group B, but the group-stage standings do not decide the full tournament on their own. Teams still have remaining group games, and the NBA Cup’s knockout round follows the group schedule.

The Heat’s next group result will determine whether this win becomes a decisive step toward the knockout stage. The game’s scoring milestone stands on its own: two Miami players matched a mark the franchise had reached only once before.
