5 takeaways from the Miami Heat’s win over the Wizards

For a minute, it appeared as if the Miami Heat had let another one slip through its fingers.

Heading into the half with a 59-53 lead, Miami would go on to surrender a 23-7 run in the third quarter that would give Washington a five-point lead. Heading into the fourth, it was a one point game, and although its very early in the year, it was do-or-die time for the Heat, who slowly find their season slipping away after five consecutive losses.

Then Goran Dragic happened, and he would save his best for last. Scoring 13 of his season-high 34 points in the fourth quarter, the Dragon would leave no room for doubt as the Heat rallied to beat the Wizards, 112-101.
