Wizards-Heat Preview

As LeBron James begins what will no doubt be a tense week, the Miami Heat are trying everything they can to end their struggles.

After holding a players-only meeting following their latest loss, the Heat host the Washington Wizards on Monday night.

While James will make his return to Cleveland on Thursday night, the Heat (9-8) have two more games to play in Miami before that matchup, with Detroit visiting Wednesday after Washington leaves town.

The Heat lost for the fourth time in five games Saturday, 106-95 at Dallas - their second defeat by double digits during this stretch. That prompted a meeting of Miami's players.

"It was a well-needed team meeting where everybody had a chance to get off whatever they had on their chest or in their head about us figuring things out," James said. "Right now we are a 9-8 team and we have to own up to that. Does our record speak of the quality of team we can become? I don't think so. But right now we're 9-8 and we're playing like that."

James had 23 points and eight rebounds while Dwyane Wade had 22 points, nine boards and five assists. James, however, went 5 of 19 from the field and combined with Wade to commit 12 of Miami's 14 turnovers.

The Heat have been held to fewer than 100 points in six straight games and were outrebounded in last five. They shot 41.3 percent Saturday and were outscored 31-17 in the third quarter after missing their first 10 shots after halftime.

"It's tough because I know the potential of this team, the vision I had when this team was put together," Wade said.

A visit from the Wizards (5-10), who are winless on the road, might help them get the week off to a good start.

Washington is looking to avoid losing a season-high third straight. The Wizards fell 100-99 to Orlando on Saturday, with Gilbert Arenas' shot at the buzzer hitting the back of the rim.

Arenas finished with a season-high 31 points and scored his team's final nine points over the last four minutes, but was 9 of 23 from the floor. He is shooting 39.1 percent on the season.

John Wall missed the game with a bruised right knee. The rookie had totaled 35 points in his last two games after sitting out four with a sprained left foot.

Wall, averaging 18.0 points and 9.1 assists, is questionable for Monday. Yi Jianlian will miss his eighth straight game and fellow forward Al Thornton is likely to sit out his third in a row.

The Wizards play their next two and five of six on the road. They are winless in seven away games this season, giving up 110.1 points while scoring 93.4.

"We felt we played hard enough for the win (Saturday) so we have to take the momentum on the road and play against the Heat," Arenas said.

Miami has won seven of the last eight meetings with Washington. However, the Wizards won in their most recent visit to Miami, 94-84 on Nov. 27, 2009.

James, Wade lead Heat over Wizards 105-94

MIAMI (AP) - LeBron James and Erik Spoelstra had a pregame meeting Monday afternoon to talk about Miami's offensive woes.

Early returns suggest it was a productive chat.

James scored 30 points, Dwyane Wade scored 26, Chris Bosh finished with 20 and the Heat beat Washington 105-94 on Monday night, keeping the Wizards winless away from home this season.

James had 20 of his points in the first half, Wade added 15 in the third quarter, and though it didn't get into a blowout until the fourth quarter - it's the fifth time already this season where the Wizards have lost by double digits away from home - it was comfortable for Miami throughout.

"We have to figure out how to complement each other on the court," James said.

That wasn't an issue Monday.

The Heat topped 100 points for the first time in seven games, and led by as many as 22 on the way to just their second win in their past six outings. It came in the first contest following a Saturday loss in Dallas that remains a hot topic, for James' shoulder-bump of Spoelstra during a time-out when Miami was coming unglued in the third quarter, then a 40-minute players-only postgame meeting.

"We move on. You know, we can't dwell on this. It's a step in the right direction," said Spoelstra, whose career record moved to 100-82. "And now we have to continue to build these habits and remember that pain. I won't forget the pain of the other night, the third quarter, and I don't want our guys to forget that, either."

Andray Blatche scored 26 for Washington, which is 0-8 on the road. Gilbert Arenas added 23 for the Wizards, who lost to the Heat for the eighth time in the teams' past nine meetings.

Nick Young scored 13 and JaVale McGee finished with 10 points and 10 rebounds for Washington.

"We knew they have a lot of talent," Wizards guard Kirk Hinrich said. "You have to give them credit. Their 'Big 3' kind of carried them tonight."

The Wizards were without No. 1 draft pick John Wall, who missed his second straight game with a bruised right knee, and went largely with a seven-man rotation for much of the night. Washington was also again without Al Thornton (ankle) and Yi Jianlian (knee).

"It got to the point late where we didn't have any enough runs left in us," Wizards coach Flip Saunders said.

Miami's lead was only 55-49 with 10:31 left in the third quarter, before Wade - who has been slumping - got his scoring touch back.

He did it in a hurry, too.

Wade scored 15 points in the quarter, matching a Heat season best for any quarter this season, and needed only 6:17 to get that done. Consecutive jumpers 27 seconds apart, both set up by James, got him started, and he went on the attack the rest of the quarter - getting all 11 of his remaining points either at the foul line or on driving layups.

"Bron kept telling me the whole game, stay aggreessive, stay aggressive. ... Finally got some shots to fall," Wade said.

Wade's personal spurt ended with 3:17 left in the period, when he split defenders on a spin move, got fouled, made a layup from the left side and hit the free throw for a 76-63 lead.

From there, things got chippy.

Washington's Hilton Armstrong and Miami's Juwan Howard were ejected with 32.3 seconds left in the third. Armstrong flagrantly fouled Heat center Joel Anthony on a layup attempt, pushing him with both hands in what was deemed a flagrant-2 infraction. Howard's night ended after referee Bill Kennedy saw he had pushed Armstrong in the back while coming to Anthony's defense.

"I love what the veteran on our team did," Wade said.

Armstrong sounded apologetic afterward.

"I wasn't really trying to hurt him or anything like that, I just didn't want him to have any easy dunk or an easy lay-up," Armstrong said. "You clearly saw he lost his balance when he was in the air. I didn't mean to hit him that hard, but he fell. I went to go try to help him out, but then Howard came and pushed me in the back."

Hinrich and Miami's James Jones were called for double technicals after getting in each other's faces with 8:20 left to play, and Washington's Trevor Booker was called for a flagrant-1 about 5 minutes later.

Spoelstra wanted the Heat to bring a more physical approach, and they responded.

"I think it's great," Spoelstra said. "We don't want guys getting thrown out of the game, but I think this was a direct residual of the weekend and guys are getting tired of it. We know we really have to get more physical, particularly under the glass. I like it when we come in with a chip on our shoulder."

NOTES: Arenas hit a 26-footer at the end of the half, drawing Washington within 52-44 at the break. ... Carlos Arroyo was trying to give James a message while Wade was shooting free throws in the third quarter, but couldn't immediately find the two-time MVP - who was having a laugh at midcourt with Heat owner Micky Arison during the stoppage in play. ... Marlins owner Jeffrey Loria was courtside. ... Wade was sidelined briefly in the first quarter to get treatment - for a hangnail.

Wizards-Heat notebook

THE FACTS: LeBron James scored a game-high 30 points and Dwyane Wade added 26 as the Heat beat the Wizards, 105-94. Forward Chris Bosh also had 20 points and seven rebounds. The Heat held the Wizards to 41 percent shooting, including 3-for-17 on 3-pointers.

QUOTABLE: "The storyline was that we came in with a much better focus of energy and were able to sustain it. There were some ebb and flows of the game. We didn't play sharp all the time offensively but the ball was moving. The most important thing was you could see it in our effort. It was one of our more active games from the beginning to the end."
-- Heat coach Erik Spoelstra

THE STAT: The Heat attacked the basket often and were rewarded, shooting 42 free throws. Spoelstra said he is still searching for an offensive identity, but one of the things he wanted to see more was James and Wade driving to the basket. They combined to shoot 21 free throws, making 19.

TURNING POINT: The Heat led 52-44 at halftime behind strong performances from Bosh and James, but became a different team once Wade joined the act. He scored 22 second-half points.

HOT: Wade shot just 8-for-17 from the field, but most of his success came in the second half. It was good news for the Heat, considering Wade was 14-for-40 from the field in his last three games.

NOT: Wizards guard Gilbert Arenas was 9-for-21 shots, but was only 3-for-10 from 3-point range. Arenas, who finished with 23 points, was never a factor.

FANTASY SPOTLIGHT: James added six rebounds and five assists to go along with his 30 points. The only downside of his performance was the seven turnovers.

INSIDE THE ARENA: Rapper Rick Ross sat courtside behind the Heat bench.

GOOD MOVE: Spoelstra and James had a one-on-one meeting before the game to address the rumors of them having a rocky relationship. Both parties insist there is no rift between them. James said he fully supported Spoelstra.

BAD MOVE: Wizards center Hilton Armstrong fouled Joel Anthony hard in the third quarter, drawing a technical foul. Then Heat forward Juwan Howard pushed Armstrong to the floor after the play. Howard and Armstrong were ejected.

ROOKIE WATCH: Wizards guard John Wall missed his second straight game with a bruised knee. Wall has missed six games because of injury this season.

NOTABLE: The victory was No. 100 for Spoelstra.

UP NEXT: For the Heat, Wednesday vs. Detroit, Thursday @ Cleveland, Saturday @ Atlanta. For the Wizards, Wednesday @ Toronto, Friday vs. Portland, Sunday @ Phoenix.
