And the Miami Heat haven’t been.
Bradley Beal scored 32 points and the Wizards rallied from a 13-point, second-half deficit to beat the freefalling Heat 103-100 on Wednesday night.
Deni Avdija added 13 for Washington, which pulled off this comeback just three nights after digging its way out of an 18-point hole to beat the Brooklyn Nets. The Wizards — who had their season suspended for nearly two weeks because of virus issues in January — held Miami to 32 points in the game’s final 23 minutes.
“We’ve gone through a lot. ... We fought and we kept fighting,” Wizards coach Scott Brooks said. “And that’s what we’re going to do. We’re not happy with our win total. We’re going to keep competing.”
