Heat clamp down on Wizards, pull away late

Added to Favorite


Bam Adebayo posted 19 points and 15 rebounds and the Miami Heat used a fourth-quarter run to pull away from the visiting Washington Wizards in a 106-90 rout on Monday.

Miami, playing the second leg of a back-to-back after an overtime loss to the New York Knicks on Sunday, had no trouble jumping to an early lead. But after building a 19-point advantage in the second quarter, the Heat saw the deficit whittled down to single digits in the second half.

The Wizards were still within striking distance in the fourth quarter, until Miami went on a 12-0 run that effectively put the game away. Reserve Pelle Larsson scored half of the Heat’s points during the decisive stretch and had nine of his 16 total points in the fourth quarter.

Washington endured a field-goal drought lasting more than 3:30 overlapping with Miami’s onslaught. The Wizards shot 6 of 16 from the floor in the fourth quarter and a dismal 3 of 23 in the second quarter, finishing 31 of 84 (36.9 percent) for the night.

The Heat held the Wizards without a field goal for a staggering 7:35 of the second quarter.

Miami shot 39 of 82 (47.6 percent) from the field, with 31 of its made shots coming off assists. Tyler Herro lead the Heat with six assists to complement his 16 points, and Adebayo, Larsson, Terry Rozier and Kyle Anderson each dished five assists.

Every Miami player who saw the floor doled out at least one assist.

Rozier scored 15 points as one of five Miami players in double figures. Duncan Robinson added 17 points in reserve duty.

Khris Middleton led Washington with 16 points. Bub Carrington went for 14 points, seven assists and five rebounds, and Kyshawn George finished with 10 points, eight rebounds and five assists.

Off the Wizards’ bench, Corey Kispert and Marcus Smart each scored eight points.
