The Washington Wizards (9 - 10) defeated the Miami Heat (12 - 7) 114 - 103 on Monday. It's been an up - and - down season for the Wizards, but they've now surprisingly handed two of the best teams in the Eastern Conference rare home losses. After having tripped up the Cavs at Quicken Loans Arena on Dec. 1, Washington pulled away from Miami in the final period Monday to hand the Heat only their fourth defeat at American Airlines Arena. Just as in their upset of Cleveland, the Wizards benefited from a stellar performance from their offensive linchpin John Wall, who managed 26 points, seven assists, a rebound and a steal, despite coming into the game nursing a sore knee. The visitors also got 21 points from Wall's backcourt mate Bradley Beal, who added four assists, three rebounds and a steal. Otto Porter pitched in with his third straight strong performance, tallying a 13 - point, 14 - rebound double - double. Jared Dudley contributed 12 points, four rebounds, an assist and a steal, an effort that included two three - pointers. Gary Neal (21 points) and Ramon Sessions (12 points) were highly efficient off the bench, with the former overcoming a groin injury to post his third consecutive double - digit scoring game. The Wizards improved to 9 - 10 but still reside in last place in the Eastern Conference's Southeast Division. They head home for a showdown with the Houston Rockets on Wednesday. The Heat was unable to keep pace with Washington despite superb efforts from their backcourt duo of Goran Dragic and Dwyane Wade. Dragic, who's struggled to score the majority of the season, managed a season - high 20 points. It marked the third consecutive game with double - digit points for the eight - year veteran, who appears to be finding his way in Miami's offensive system. Meanwhile, Wade came within an assist of his first double - double on the season, totaling 26 points, nine dimes, seven rebounds and a steal. Chris Bosh was ejected with 28 seconds left for arguing with the officials, but pitched in with his own near double - double, amassing 18 points, nine rebounds, four assists, a pair of blocks and a steal. Hassan Whiteside's 14 points, four rebounds and three blocks and Gerald Green's nine points rounded out solid performances from the starters, while Josh McRoberts paced the Miami bench with nine points, a pair of rebounds, an assist and a steal. Miami fell to 12 - 7 but retains control of first place in the Eastern Conference's Southeast Division by a half - game. They travel to Charlotte for a showdown with the second - place Hornets on Wednesday.
