After Action Report
In Washington, the Wizards buried the Heat 118-87. The breakneck pace played right into Wizards' hands. Wizards' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the Wizards. The Wizards locker room is humming, and it showed. Tonight's Heat utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Never a doubt in this one.
