Heat center Bam Adebayo on Kyle Lowry's injury status: “Kyle’s been the guy, for what 16 years?” center Bam Adebayo said in the wake of Saturday’s 102-91 overtime road loss to the Indiana Pacers. “So he knows how to control the tempo, knows how to keep the pace. So when you’re missing that type of attribute, that’s going to leave a hole in our offense. So for us, we’ve just got to do a better job of staying cohesive, staying with pace, and just keep moving, getting in our triggers faster and making the easy plays.”
