In a game on Sunday night against the Portland Trail Blazers, Miami Heat big man Bam Adebayo was at the free-throw line late in the fourth quarter. Adebayo missed his first shot and looked back at his teammate and pal Jimmy Butler who was not pleased with him for missing the charity shot.
Bam Adebayo responded on Twitter of the clip that went viral.

In fairness, the Heat still won the road game 107-98, so it wasn't that important that he missed the shot. Adebayo himself had a very good game with 22 points to go with three rebounds, two assists, and a pair of steals.
We know the relationship between Butler and Adabeyo is strong, as it was rumored that Butler refused to go to the All-Star game unless his buddy went with him. However, this was just pure fun between the teammates.
Ever since Butler joined the Heat, he's been instrumental in Adebayo's development. The two have clearly formed a strong relationship on and off the court that was evident in their post-game conferences. However, it's the duo's play on the court that was a big reason that Miami was able to reach the NBA Finals last year.
There's no question that Butler will be on Adebayo at practice for his free-throw shot and while it didn't cost them last night, it's something that they will need in the playoffs. Adebayo is having his best season from the charity line hitting 80 percent which is far better than the 69 percent he had last season.
