MIAMI -- The Miami Heat's starters aren't necessarily finishers ... while the Washington Wizards have a star who is playing like one.
That's the backdrop for Saturday night's game at AmericanAirlines Arena between the host Heat (35-31) and the Wizards (38-28).
The Heat is getting major contributions from reserves. In Thursday's 108-99 win over the Philadelphia 76ers, Miami's bench scored 25 of the Heat's 35 fourth-quarter points. Overall, Miami's bench scored 46 points on 50 percent shooting and also grabbed 26 rebounds.
"We have a lot of versatility," Heat reserve guard Wayne Ellington said after Miami shot 72.
