The Wizards celebrated the end of their losing streak with a second straight victory, this time over a Miami Heat squad that could ill-afford a loss to one of the NBA’s worst teams.
The game itself was an odd watch. For most of the evening, it felt like Miami was playing better...but Washington kept making threes, and the Heat kept missing open shots, and that was enough to keep the Wizards in contact. For the game, the Wizards were +18 from three-point range.
Washington seemed to take control in the fourth, building a 10-point lead with just 2:45 to play.
