Washington again succumbed to Miami tonight (between Friday and Saturday), 110:107 in the second meeting between the teams in three days.
Danny Avdia did not provide a similar display to the one in which he almost recorded a triple double the other day, but this time he did a little of everything, and finished with 8 points, 9 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 blocks and a steal in 31 minutes on the floor.
The Israeli's shooting night was less successful this time: he took only eight shots and was accurate on two, missed all four threes he attempted, and scored 4 of 6 from the line, but on one of the misses he missed an opportunity to complete a turnaround about three minutes to the end.
Bradley Beal returned to play for the Wizards, which naturally affected the number of shots by Avdia, who gave the star an important assist about 19 seconds to the end on the way to shrink to 108:107.
However, Caleb Martin hit two free throws on the other end, Beal missed from beyond the arc on the final possession - and the Heat came away with their second straight win.
Less dominant this time.

Bam Adebayo exploded for the host with 38 points and 12 rebounds, Martin contributed 20 points, Kyle Lowry had 13, 8 assists and 7 rebounds.
Beal led Washington's scorers along with Kyle Kuzma, with each providing 28, and Kristaps Porzingis scored 18 of his own.
