The Heat ended their sweet five-game home streak, during which they achieved 4 wins and 1 loss, with strong momentum. ; The Wizards have the same main schedule, but have lost three games in a row. This is also the first time they have suffered three consecutive losses this season.
The Wizards and Heat currently rank fifth and seventh in the Eastern Conference, with only 2 wins separating the two teams. In the next four days, the two sides will have two direct conversations, and the result of the game will be decisive for their final ranking.
The Heat will face the 76ers and Wizards in the next three games. They hope to achieve a lead in the rankings with such direct confrontations. Before that, the Heat used a big victory to boost their morale.
defeated the Suns today. The Heat shot 51.5% from the field. Seven players scored in double figures. For the second time in team history, they scored 30+ points in each quarter. The most important thing is that almost all players play less than 30 minutes, which stores their physical energy for back-to-back games.
"After looking at the schedule, you will find that there are three games to be played in the next four days, so it feels good to play a game like tonight. Everyone works together and the game is simple. A great team victory." Wade said .
The Wizards have lost three consecutive games in the past. They first lost to the powerful Warriors and Raptors, and then lost in a position battle with the Pacers , thus handing over the fourth position in the Eastern Conference.
Bill scored 22 points and 11 assists in the last game. This is the first time since 2012 that a Wizards player other than Wall has contributed 20 points and 10 assists in a single game. However, Bill's consecutive mistakes and strikes at the last moment ruined the game.
Bill, who played 43 minutes, said in the post-game interview that he was a little tired. Coach Brooks said: "I should do better. 43 minutes is indeed a lot, especially in games that are not broadcast live in the United States. Some games are a little bit... It's different, because there is almost a 10-minute timeout. If Bill is allowed to play for 37 or 38 minutes, he should be more adaptable. "
Wall's injury requires Bill to take on more tasks, and with it comes playing time. The best helper around Bill is Porter , who has scored at least 15 points in 14 of the past 16 games.
"We still have a chance to fight for a higher ranking," Bill said when talking about the next game. "We have an advantage in the schedule. In the next game we will face a team that is also eager to win. We must Get it."

Wizards: Satoransky, Bill, Porter, Morris, Gortat
