Miami Heat had a bizarre week. Three nights after a 30-point win and two nights following a 39-point loss, they scored another lopsided victory.
The Heat’s worst losses this season have come in the second game of back-to-back games. After Friday night’s 112-88 rout of the Wizards , it was only natural Miami was looking ahead, and not resting on an easy win.
On Saturday, the Heat host Sacramento, and after a 1-6 record in those back-to-backers, coach Erik Spoelstra can’t wait to see how his team plays.
“It’s about honesty and us being real with each other,” Spoelstra said.” What we’ve done on back-to-back nights so far, we have to be real about it, it’s not been good enough.”
In those second games, the Heat have lost by 15, 29, 30 and 39.
They’re hoping to see more of what they got Friday night from Dwyane Wade. The All-Star guard led Miami with 32 points. Jermaine O'neal added 18 on an economical 8 for 10 from the field and Beasley had 15.
Wade who scored 40 and 41 in two earlier games against Washington, had his way against a team full of problems.
He was 12 for 19 from the field—including 4 3-pointers—and had 10 assists.
The Heat, despite all their ups and downs, are in much better shape than the Wizards, who lost for the sixth time in eight games.
