The Washington Wizards won the contest, 110-108.
Deni Avdija got things started with a pair of strong drives, including a vicious one-handed jam. Kyle Kuzma started the game at center due to Marvin Bagley III and Richaun Holmes being out with injuries, and did fairly well in those minutes.
Washington got out to a 15-11 first-quarter lead, but Miami’s size proved difficult. The Heat responded with a 10-3 run to take the lead entering Q2, 27-25.
Patrick Baldwin Jr. got the nod at backup center and showed his worth early, draining a three and slamming home a dunk.
