Heat score 71 in first half, go on to dominate Wizards 122-95

Coach Erik Spoelstra reinserted Goran Dragic back into the starting lineup and made Tyler Herro a featured sixth man in moves that paid immediate dividends Friday night. Couple with a complete team effort that recalled their bubble days, the starting lineup went out and sparked an early onslaught that would lead to a feel-good blowout 122-95 win versus the Washington Wizards.

Miami came out looking sharp and Dragic was back to his usual self. Instead of struggling to finish around the rim as he had the last few games, he pushed the pace early and often which allowed the team to shred the Wizards’ porous defense before they had time to react.
