WASHINGTON (The Sports Xchange) — The Miami Heat ran away from the Washington Wizards during a defensively dominant first half.
Center Hassan Whiteside lorded over all without scoring a point. Eventually the 7-footer joined the scoring column, but it was his shot blocking and intimidating presence that stole the show in the 97-75 romp.

“Tell him that,” Spoelstra said.
