Miami Heat is looking forward to recover from their first season loss against the Phoenix Suns as they go against the Washington Wizards tonight at the Verizon Center, Washington DC.

Miami lost to the Phoenix Suns after their defense crumbled in the 4th quarter. Miami lead the game for three quarters with a score 81-75 but got sloppy during the fourth allowing the Suns to convert with 10 out of 16 shots and 9 out of 23 three-pointers.

Winning against New Jersey last Saturday but losing to Cleveland Tuesday the Wizards need to recover from their bout alternating wins.

“I think when we play how we want to play, execute, trust each other, we’re pretty good,” Washington coach Flip Saunders said. “When we don’t do that, when we start doing too much, we get stagnant. When you’re not scoring, it affects you defensively, it sucks the energy out of you sometimes.”

The game starts 7PM ET.
