In the NBA preseason, it’s hard to be too concerned about the final outcome—what fans really want to see are improvements from returning players and whether the new acquisitions fit in.
On Friday night, Wizards fans wanted to see John Wall shake off some more rust, Bradley Beal and Otto Porter stay aggressive, and Markieff Morris, uh, not get ejected. Luckily, Washington went three-for-three on their way to a 121-114 win over the scrappy Miami Heat.
The Wizards’ starting unit opened up the game looking solid in a fairly uneventful first quarter.
