Danny Abediah continued tonight (between Wednesday and Thursday) with the excellent personal ability he has been showing in Washington's last games, and recorded milestones that we have not seen from him until today, but the Wizards were defeated 113:105 away by the Miami Heat - which interrupted a streak of four victories.
Avdia recorded career highs in minutes played (41) and assists (10) and was only one rebound away from a historic triple-double, scoring 12 points - his sixth game out of the last seven in double figures, with four of them scoring the same amount.
The Israeli added one steal and two blocks, and was accurate on 4/7 for two and 1/3 beyond the arc, along with 4 turnovers.

Kyle Lowry scored 24 of his 28 points in the first half, and led the host from Florida to open a significant double-digit gap, which at the beginning of the third quarter reached its peak: 21 points showed the scoreboard in favor of Miami, but Washington did not give up and completed an impressive comeback in the last quarter, when even manages to gain a point lead.
However, Tyler Hero was there in big time for the Heat, with four 3-pointers in the fourth quarter that helped his team come out on top.
Four of Avdia's ten assists came in the decisive quarter, all of which the forward spent on the floor, but he was unable to register points in those minutes.
Kyle Kuzma once again led the Wizards in the absence of Bradley Beal, contributing 33 points along with 7 rebounds.
Kristaps Porzingis provided 21 with 9 rebounds, Will Barton scored 13 off the bench.
Caleb Martin finished with 24 and 9 rebounds for the winner, who got 17 from Hiro, and 15 and 11 rebounds from Bam Adebayo.
