The Miami Heat suffered a significant setback with a close 110-108 loss to the Washington Wizards, marking one of their most disappointing defeats of the season. The Wizards, who entered the game tied for the NBA's worst record and without a road win since January 29, managed to secure a rare victory. This loss for the Heat, their second in a row for the first time since late January, was highlighted by issues such as second-chance points and the performance of an elite scorer. The game was described as 'humbling' by Heat player Jimmy Butler and 'the worst loss of the season' by others. The Wizards' victory was only their second this season against a team with a winning record, with their other win coming against the Pacers on December 15.
