(Miami, FL) – Gerald Green’s 28 points and a fourth quarter push helped the Miami Heat close out the home portion of their preseason schedule with a 110-105 victory over the Washington Wizards at America Airlines Arena.
Washington held a 10-point lead at 90-80 with 9:35 to go, but just like they had during the second quarter, the Heat slowly whittled their deficit down, courtesy of a 16-5 run to take a 96-95 lead. Green drilled consecutive threes to close out that push, part of an 11-point fourth quarter for the new addition.
In the final minute, the Wizards then took a 105-104 lead, only to see Dwyane Wade take it back for Miami on a jumper with 40.
