Wizards fall short down the stretch in 113-108 loss to Heat

Dwyane Wade and the Miami Heat are in the midst of a battle for the No. 8 seed as the star’s farewell season draws to a close, and the Wizards didn’t have the answers to stop them Saturday. Wade scored a team-high 20 points (nine rebounds) off the bench to lead six double-figure scorers as Miami got a critical win in D.C. for its postseason aspirations, 113-108.

Saturday’s tilt was the definition of the cliché that basketball is a game of runs, and the two teams were nearly dead even through three quarters despite both having double-digit leads along the way.
