MIAMI (CBSMiami/AP) — The Miami Heat have come out of the All-Star break with guns-a-blazing.

Hassan Whiteside liked the fast pace the Miami Heat played with the night before in a victory in Atlanta — and wanted to be a part of it.

Whiteside had 25 points and 23 rebounds in his return from a one-game suspension to help the Heat beat the Washington Wizards 114-94 on Saturday night.

“I couldn’t wait to get back out here,” Whiteside said.

Whiteside was suspended for throwing an elbow at San Antonio center Boban Marjanovic’s head on Feb.
