Miami had two chances to win it.
Heat fall to the Wizards, 110-108
– 23 points on 9 for 20 shooting for Jimmy Butler
– Bam Adebayo with 16 points and 16 rebounds
– Kuzma’s 32 and Kispert’s 22 led the Wizards
Inexcusable loss for the Heat, who have now dropped three in a row. pic.twitter.com/gSguOBuwMt – 8:28 PM
