WASHINGTON — This is what good teams do, deck a staggered, reeling opponent early and never really give them life.
Ahead 20 in the second quarter, the Heat watched the Wizards hang around for a bit, but then unleashed a 10-0 run to open the third, then a 15-0 spurt a bit later, and dispatched Washington 121-100 on Monday night at Capital One Arena.
Playing against a Wizards team that was without leading scorer Bradley Beal and had lost eight of its last nine, the Heat zipped to a 46-26 lead.
