With Keldon Johnson in front of him and his teammates on his back, Bam Adebayo hunched over with the ball in hand. It wasn't long before he pinpointed a spot within the three-point arc — nearing the left elbow — and pulled up for a game-winning shot.

Because there never is an easy button for the 2024-25 Miami Heat. Not even with the San Antonio Spurs forced at the last minute Saturday night to go without ill All-Star big man Victor Wembanyama. Not even with the Spurs playing on the second night of a back-to-back set and the Heat idle the previous two days.

Bam Adebayo capped a 30-point performance by sinking a jumper at the buzzer, lifting the visiting Miami Heat to a 105-103 win over the short-handed San Antonio Spurs on Saturday.
