Missing five of their top six producers so far this season, the Wizards entered tonight’s matchup with the Heat with a roster comprised mostly of has-beens and G-Leaguers. Naturally, after a rough first quarter they dominated Miami and coasted to a 123-105 victory.
This was a crazy game by nearly any standard. Led by Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo, the Heat entered the game 24-8 and in second place in the East. The Wizards have been bad at full strength, and were missing Bradley Beal, Thomas Bryant, Davis Bertans, Rui Hachimura, and Moe Wagner.
