Washington knows one thing: It will not be playing the Miami Heat in the playoffs. For that, the Wizard are thankful.
Miami has the personnel construction that gives the Wizards problems. Attacking guards, one of the league’s best big men and a slower pace. The Wizards are 0-3 against the Heat this season. The third loss, 106-103 on Saturday, came after Miami played the night before in Toronto. It lost a two-point game there, but managed to come to Washington and win.
The upshot for the Wizards is that the Heat is just outside of the playoffs at the end of Saturday’s play.
