If you missed the Washington Wizards’ 121-100 loss to the Miami Heat, all you’d need to do is rewatch the first two minutes of the third quarter to understand how the game unfolded.
The Wizards had cut what was a 46-26 hole in the second quarter into a much more manageable seven point deficit at halftime, 60-53.
On Washington’s first possession of the 3rd, with a chance to cut the lead to four, Aaron Holiday had a clean look for three roll right off the rim and out. On Miami’s first possession, Jimmy Butler found Kyle Lowry in the corner for a three that went down.
