Miami Heat has been the best team in the NBA at the start of the season, using their great defense to prevail over their opponents.
After the team’s 125-110 win on Tuesday against the Dallas Mavericks, Kyle Lowry praised Bam Adebayo for his great play in both ends of the floor.
The veteran point guard, who joined the Heat this past season, said Adebayo should win the Defensive Player of the Year this season.

“We’re a very communicative type of team. Our first unit, we are vets. We have guys who are switcheroos. We have PJ [Tucker] and Jimmy [Butler] — Jimmy is probably one of the best two-way players in the game.
PJ is one of the best defensive guys out there. And Bam [Adebayo], he probably should win Defensive Player of the Year. We got a good group out there who can mix and match and do everything.”
Adebayo finished the contest with 22 points, 13 rebounds and two blocks, showcasing his versatility on both ends. Lowry himself put up a season-high 22 points and nine assists.
The Heat have started the season with six wins in the first seven games of the season.
