Miami Heat’s Bam Adebayo Has No Explanation For Jayson Tatum Incident In Fourth Quarter Of Game 4
Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo and Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum were involved in a weird incident Monday in the fourth quarter of Game 4.
It began with Heat guard Patty Mills being called for a foul after accidentally tripping Celtics guard Derrick White. After the whistle blew, Tatum attempted to shoot a 3-pointer. Adebayo responded by contesting the shot, which caused Tatum to roll his ankle. He fell on the court clutching the ankle.
The referees then called a Flagrant 1 on Adebayo. Celtics center Al Horford was then given a technical for shoving Adebayo. At the time, the Heat were making a comeback but were still down 91-78. Tatum then made two free throws as part of the technical with 5 minutes, 4 seconds remaining.
“I don’t even know dawg,” Adebayo said when asked for an explanation. “We’re just gonna move on from that. You’re gonna get me fined.”
The Celtics were unhappy about the play because the possibility of injury.
“I know that we get to playing around, trying to contest shots after fouls and things like that,” Horford said. “You know, there’s levels to contest. If a guy is shooting and the play is over with, just kind of let it be. I know [Adebayo’s] trying to compete over there. But I was just mad. I don’t want to see any of my guys hurt.”
Tatum is apparently OK after the fall. The Celtics were especially worrisome because center Kristaps Porzingis left in the first half with an apparent leg injury.
“It looked like he was moving OK,” Celtics coach Joe Mazzulla said of Tatum. “I didn’t ask him after the game, but I’m sure he’s fine.”

Police: Car burglar nearly stole rent cash in Miami; 2 women fought him to death
MIAMI – Detectives reported two women were with a teenager and three children when they spotted a man stealing from their car in Miami. There was a shooting and the thief later died. Police officers arrested the women and they were facing murder charges.
Antwoinse Lachaveia Clark and Fredericka Sherice Pickett-Wilson decided to confront the thief. According to a police arrest report released on Monday, the man punched Pickett-Wilson in the face and took off running with her blue backpack.
Clark, 36, told police officers her cash for a rent payment was in the backpack. The man didn’t get far. Pickett-Wilson, 29, used pepper spray, and Clark recovered the backpack. That’s where police officers believe a stolen gun used for the shooting was.
The car burglary and shooting were on March 30 along Northeast 16 Street.
The burglary was on First Court and the shooting was on Second Avenue. He suffered gunshot wounds to his left upper abdomen and his left anterior thigh. Fire Rescue personnel took him to Jackson Memorial Hospital where he died Wednesday.
Detectives questioned Clark and Pickett-Wilson again on Friday at the Central station and Miami police officers arrested them. They appeared in bond court on Saturday and they were facing charges of second-degree murder.
Clark was also facing charges of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and grand theft of a firearm. She has an arrest record in Miami-Dade County. It includes a cocaine possession case that resulted in a probation sentence and two marijuana-related cases that resulted in fines.
The arrest form released did not include the identity of the slain man or details about whether or not he was armed. Court records show Miami-Dade County Circuit Judge Zachary N. James was set to preside over the new cases. Their arraignment hearing is set for 9:30 a.m., on May 17.
