Miami Heat big man Bam Adebayo nearly drained what would have been the shot of the season during Saturday's tilt against the Washington Wizards.
With the Heat down three points and less than one second remaining on the clock, Adebayo heaved the ball the full length of the court â and it almost went in:

The Heat big man's last-second attempt would have sent the game to overtime and you can clearly see in the reaction of the Wizards players how relieved they were that it did not. Kyle Kuzma probably breathed the biggest sigh of relief after missing both of his free-throw attempts with just 0.6 seconds left on the clock. He could have iced the game at that point, but his two misses opened the door for Adebayo's near-miracle 90-footer.
Saturday's loss puts an end to the Heat's four-game winning streak. Miami gets a bit of rest with the team not scheduled to take the court until Tuesday. Adebayo and Co. go on a brief three-game road spell next week, wherein they face off against the Detroit Pistons and the Minnesota Timberwolves on a back-to-back set before closing out their trip with a marquee Eastern Conference matchup against Chicago Bulls.
