In this edition of Top-10 Stats of the Week, Miami Heat star big Bam Adebayo continues to confound fans, Dallas Mavericks superstar Luka Doncic needs a hug, PGA star Justin Thomas produces an incredible comeback, Golden State Warriors forward Andrew Wiggins performs like a first-overall draft pick, and St. Louis Cardinals veteran Paul Goldschmidt shows why he's Mr. Walk-Off.
23 -- In Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals, the Heat's starting lineup finished with only 18 points combined. Heat guard Victor Oladipo scored 23 points off the bench. Not bad for a guy who recorded five points in Game 3. Consequently, Miami dropped Game 4 to the Boston Celtics, 102-82.
7 -- Celtics guard Derrick White had seven points with less than two minutes into Game 4. Before the bout, he'd recorded three points in the entire series.
12 -- Celtics superstar Jayson Tatum wasn't going to be outclassed by White. Tatum scored 12 points less than 10 minutes into Game 4. It's hard to believe he contributed just 10 points in Boston's Game 3 loss.
15 -- Heat center Bam Adebayo recorded 15 field goals in the team's Game 3 win. In the other three games of this East Finals, he's combined for just nine made baskets.
4th -- Adebayo's stellar Game 3 performance didn't only include 15-made field goals. He also lead the Heat in points, rebounds, assists, steals, and blocks. He became just the fourth player in league history to do that in a postseason win. The three others players: Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Hakeem Olajuwon, and Dikembe Mutombo.
40 -- The Mavericks have lost four straight playoff games when wunderkind Luka Doncic scored 40-plus points. That's now tied for the longest streak in NBA playoff history.
30 -- On the flip side, Warriors superstar Steph Curry recorded his seventh 30-point game of these playoffs. Only two other players in league history -- age 34 or older -- have posted this many 30-point playoff games in a single season: Michael Jordan and LeBron James. That's pretty decent company.
27, 11 -- Not only did Golden State forward Andrew Wiggins match his playoff career-high of 11 rebounds against the Mavs in Game 3, but he also racked up 27 points on more than 50-percent shooting. It was Wiggins' first time scoring at least 27 points in a game this season, and he was a 2022 All-Star starter.
3rd -- Congratulations are in order for golfer Justin Thomas, who won the 104th PGA Championship this past weekend. Thomas had a 7-shot, 54-hole comeback on Sunday at Southern Hills -- tied for the third-largest comeback in any major. He picked a convenient time to shoot a final-round 67.
7th -- Cardinals veteran first baseman Paul Goldschmidt hit a game-winning, walk-off grand slam in the 10th inning of Monday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays. It was his seventh walk-off homer in the last 10 years. And keep in mind, the most walk-off homers for an entire career is 13, set by Hall of Fame slugger Jim Thome. So, Goldschmidt is more than halfway there.
