Washington Wizards
If there were any questions about the Wizards being a quality team worthy of their record and not just benefiting from an easy schedule the match versus the Heat offered a resounding yes to that question.
Washington had to fight back in the final frame to win and deliver clutch time defense to cement the win. Bradley Beal led the way with 21 points and nine assists.
Spencer Dinwiddie and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope each scored 16 points while Montrezl Harrell added 13 points.
While Bradley Beal leads Washington in scoring (23.9 points) the next four highest points per game tallies are from players who were added to the squad this offseason.
Specifically, Montrezl Harrell (17.4), Spencer Dinwiddie (15.7), Kyle Kuzma (14.1), and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (9.1). This proves how beneficial the trade of Russell Westbrook was for Washington.
The Wizards possess the best defensive rebounding in the Association as well as the best perimeter defense holding opponents to 30.3 percent.
Spencer Dinwiddie was held out for rest in the first game versus Miami but back on Saturday. Thomas Bryant (knee) and Davis Bertans (ankle) were both upgraded to questionable for Monday. Rui Hachimura (personal) remains out with no update on a return date.
