In the NBA regular season, the Heat defeated the Warriors 110-96.

In this campaign, Heat insider Adebayor performed well in his comeback, especially in the final quarter when he led the team to successfully close the game. In 29 minutes, he made 7 of 13 shots, 3 of 4 three-pointers, and 3 of 3 free throws. He scored 20 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal, and 2 blocks, with a plus-minus value of +15.

Before the game, Adebayor's girlfriend, Aja Wilson, who won this season's WNBA championship and won the DPOY, MVP and FMVP, wore her boyfriend's jersey to watch the game, with the front and back worn backwards to reveal Adebayor's name and number.
