WASHINGTON -- The Miami Heat roll into Washington on Tuesday night hot on the heels of the slumping Wizards.
While Washington, fifth in the Eastern Conference, has dropped the first three games of a four-game homestand, the seventh-place Heat have won four of five and trail the Wizards by just two games. The teams also meet Saturday in Miami.
Miami (34-30) completed a five-game homestand with a 125-103 win over the Phoenix Suns on Monday night. Hassan Whiteside led Miami with 24 points, 14 rebounds and three blocks while Goran Dragic added 17 points and five assists.
