The Miami Heat defeated the Washington Wizards 152–136 on April 4 at Kaseya Center, combining efficient shooting with balanced offensive execution to secure a 16-point victory. J. Jaquez Jr. led Miami with 32 points while K. Ware contributed 24, as the Heat shot 58.1 percent from the field and made 17 three-pointers to outscore Washington decisively. Miami's offensive rating of 135.8 proved decisive against Washington's 125.3, with the Heat's 42 assists and 49 rebounds demonstrating superior ball movement and rebounding control. The game stayed below the Vegas total of 245.5, finishing at 288 combined points. Washington's W. Riley matched Jaquez Jr. with 31 points and S. Cooper added 20, but the Wizards' 47.2 percent shooting and 28 assists could not overcome Miami's third-quarter dominance—the Heat outscored them 45–34 in that frame to seize control. Miami's defensive rating of 125.3 held firm despite Washington's late-game 45-point fourth quarter, and the Heat's 11 blocks and 6 steals limited transition opportunities. The victory strengthens Miami's playoff positioning as the postseason approaches.
