Wizards-Heat Preview

Dwyane Wade missed badly on a potential game-winning shot in the Miami Heat's last game, but Michael Beasley was there to bail him out.

Wade hasn't misfired this season against the Washington Wizards.

The Heat's star guard will try to lead his team to a season high-tying third straight win overall and its seventh in a row over the Wizards on Friday night in Miami.

As expected, Wade, the NBA's leading scorer last season, had the ball in his hands with Miami (9-5) trailing by one in the final seconds Wednesday night at Orlando.

What wasn't expected was Wade's 15-foot jumper straying well off target, but Beasley rose above the Magic's Matt Barnes to dunk the miss with 1.6 seconds left for a 99-98 victory.

Orlando tried to argue that the Heat forward committed goaltending but to no avail.

"When it touched my hand, I was just thinking, 'Dunk it. Dunk it. Dunk it,'" Beasley said. "Because I was so close to the basket, I honestly wasn't thinking about no offensive interference. Well, I was. But I looked directly at the ref, he was running down the floor, so I knew it was good."

Despite missing 16 of 22 shots, Wade finished with 24 points. He typically has a much better performance against the Wizards (4-9).

Averaging 27.8 points this season overall, Wade scored a season-high 40 in a 93-89 win at Washington on Nov. 4, and topped that effort six days later with 41 in a 90-76 home victory over the Wizards - the sixth loss of what would wind up being a seven-game losing streak for Washington.

"When you've got a team that's not playing as well and in disarray, you've got to take advantage of it," Wade said after the Nov. 10 victory.

The Wizards may have been frustrated and disgruntled before Tuesday night's home game against Philadelphia, but they seemed to unite after the death of 85-year-old owner Abe Pollin earlier in the day.

Washington avoided a three-game slide with a 108-107 victory - its second win in 10 games this month - after the 76ers' Louis Williams' 3-point attempt at the buzzer slid off the rim.

"I guess Mr. P, he probably contested that last shot better than anybody," Wizards coach Flip Saunders said of the club's late owner.

Antawn Jamison had a season-high 32 points and 14 rebounds in his first game since returning from a right shoulder injury, and Nick Young added a season-best 20 points while playing in just his seventh contest this season.

"It was a hard evening,'' point guard Gilbert Arenas said. "But at the end of the day Abe Pollin loved us so much that we couldn't feel the pain until after the game. We had to go out there and just play."

Arenas has averaged 26.5 points in the two matchups with Miami this season despite shooting 34.0 percent. Wade, meanwhile, has shot 50.0 percent and averaged 28.5 points during the Heat's six-game win streak over Washington.

The Heat are also seeking their fourth straight home win over the Wizards, whose last victory at the AmericanAirlines Arena was March 21, 2008.

Miami is 34-10 all-time at home against Washington.

Young strings together another solid night as Wiz drop Heat

MIAMI (NBA.com exclusive) -- It's rare when Washington guard Nick Young is a bigger story than Miami superstar guard Dwyane Wade. But that was the case in the Wizards' 94-84 victory over the Heat Friday at AmericanAirlines Arena.

Young, the third-year player from the University of Southern California, scored a season-best 22 points one game after scoring a previous season-best 20 points against Philadelphia. And this is from a guy who was inactive two games ago and hadn't played in three of the Wizards' previous five games.

"It was just going out there and playing hard, really," Young said.

Even more impressive was Young, along with help from reserve guard Randy Foye, held Wade to 18 points (nine fewer than his season average) on 6-for-19 shooting. The defensive combination of Young and Foye was so good Wade, who entered the game averaging 11.1 free throws per game, only attempted seven.

Washington's defense was so effective that it held the Heat to 41.5 percent shooting and a season-low 14 free-throw attempts.

"We had very good defensive concentration," Wizards coach Flip Saunders said.

Washington's defense really affected Wade. Although he ranks among the league leaders in free throws per game, his numbers have been down recently. Wade has attempted fewer than 10 free throws in four of his last seven games. Friday marked the second time this season he hasn't attempted a free throw in the first half. In Miami's 105-90 loss at Atlanta 10 days ago Wade didn't attempt a free throw in the first half. In fact, he finished that game1-for-2 from the line.

Wade thinks the problems stems from the offense.

"We've got to find a better way to get me the ball in better positions," Wade said.

Miami coach Erik Spoelstra agrees.

"We have to break him free and get him some better opportunities where he can get to the rim, get to the free-throw line and get a little bit more space," Spoelstra said.

Washington (5-9), on the other hand, had no such complaints. Forward Antawn Jamison finished with 24 points and 13 rebounds and now has double-doubles in four of his last five games. But Jamison is traditionally trouble for Miami. He had three double-doubles against the Heat last season, averaging 21 points and 10.3 rebounds in four games.

"He's always going to be there when you need him," Saunders said.

Among Wizards bench players, 5-foot-5 guard Earl Boykins (10 points, nine assists in 21 minutes) and forward Andray Blatche (eight points, nine rebounds) kept the pressure on Miami in a game the Wizards practically led wire-to-wire. Boykins played so well that Wizards guard Gilbert Arenas (nine points) didn't play at all in the fourth quarter.

Washington punished Miami badly in numerous statistical areas, including second-chance points (Washington had 26, Miami had eight) and points off turnovers (Washington had 20 points of Miami's 14 turnovers).

Miami (9-6), which has now lost five of its last eight games, had its only lead at 2-0. The Wizards took a 67-64 lead into the fourth quarter. The Heat had a chance to take the lead going into the final period but it misfired on its last four shots.

That started a streak of poor possessions by Miami and good defense by Washington that led to the Wizards taking what was then their biggest lead of the game at 82-70. The Heat were content to fire up 3-pointers -- they shot a season-high 26, making just six -- and ill-advised jumpers, and the Wizards, when not harassing Miami into poor choices, was simply grabbing rebounds and going the other way. Washington crushed the Heat on the boards, 48-36.

But everything started with the Young-Wade matchup.

"I knew I had a big assignment," Young said. "My goal was to try to keep him under 40 [points]."

Mission accomplished.

Notes: Washington forward Antawn Jamison hit the 16,000-point mark for his career. He joins Shaquille O'Neal, Kevin Garnett, Dirk Nowitzki and Tim Duncan as the only active players to reach that level...Washington center JaVale McGee has 11 blocks in his last three games. He had a career-best six blocks in 14 minutes against Philadelphia on Tuesday...Arenas is now 1-19 against Heat guard Dwyane Wade. ...Heat center Jermaine O'Neal made it to back into town just in time for Friday's tip-off. O'Neal was with an ill uncle.
