Ira Winderman @IraHeatBeat
With his first 3-pointer, Duncan Robinson extended his franchise record to 65 consecutive games with at least one conversion, which also is the NBA’s second-longest streak to Stephen Curry. – 8:27 PM
Neil Dalal @NeilDalal96
Daniel Gafford probably playing less aggressive defense starting the second half with 3 fouls gets a nice block on Bam Adebayo, but Bam gets the offensive rebound and stuffs it on Gafford – 8:27 PM
Joe Mullinax @sbnGrizzlies
Has the early feeling of a long, rough night for Memphis. Defense is struggling to get through screens and Minnesota has the firepower to heat up quickly. Could get out of hand if the Grizzlies can’t find options beyond Bane to score the ball with how they’re defending Morant. – 8:25 PM

Chase Hughes @ChaseHughesNBCS
Deni Avdija got a quick tech for arguing a foul call on Jimmy Butler. Beal and KCP helped cool Avdija down while Butler seemed to be talking some trash. pic.twitter.com/HpwKizp2Al8:10 PM

Jimmy Butler putting Deni through the ringer right now.
Welcome to the league moment in year 2. – 8:09 PM

I wonder what their biggest strength is? – 8:03 PM
Neil Dalal @NeilDalal96
Both Bradley Beal and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope immediately went over to Deni Avdija to remind him he cannot have that reaction no matter how bad a call might be, teaching moment pic.twitter.com/XNi2giMt9M8:03 PM

Josh Robbins @JoshuaBRobbins
On Thursday, I thought Kyle Lowry and Dewayne Dedmon got under the Wizards’ skin. Tonight, the Wizards are a bit unnerved by the referees’ calls, most recently shown by Deni Avdija’s technical foul in response to a shooting foul committed by him. – 8:02 PM
Quinton Mayo @RealQuintonMayo
Deni Avdija picks up a tech after fouling Jimmy Butler — Beal and KCP have to keep him from Scott Foster – 8:02 PM
Neil Dalal @NeilDalal96
Deni Avdija has had enough of Scott Foster and earns a technical for slamming the ball to the ground after another questionable foul call – 8:01 PM
Neil Dalal @NeilDalal96
Some of the Wizards turnovers just leave you scratching your head at how they could possibly make such a lackadaisical play (i.e KCP inbounds pass starting Miami fast break). – 7:59 PM
Anthony Chiang @Anthony_Chiang
Now Heat playing small with P.J. Tucker at center. – 7:59 PM

Deni Avdija and Kyle Kuzma playing the 4 and 5 for the Wizards as Daniel Gafford and Montrezl Harrell each have 3 fouls with 7 minutes left in the first half. Not great. – 7:49 PM
Neil Dalal @NeilDalal96
Now Montrezl Harrell letting official #83 Andy Nagy know, ‘that’s a foul, that’s a foul!’ from the bench after Kyle Lowry takes a fat swipe at Raul Neto
Wizards getting hosed in the 50-50 calls right now – 7:48 PM
Anthony Chiang @Anthony_Chiang
The Wizards have been among the NBA’s best at defending the three-point line this season. The Heat has started 1 of 9 from deep tonight. – 7:47 PM
Chase Hughes @ChaseHughesNBCS
Good thing Daniel Gafford is back because Montrezl Harrell just picked up his 3rd foul with 8:51 left in the first half. – 7:46 PM
Neil Dalal @NeilDalal96
Montrezl Harrell called for his 3rd foul in 11 minutes, an offensive call by Scott Foster that was very soft – 7:46 PM

Daniel Gafford – 2 fouls
Montrezl Harrell – 3 fouls
8:59 remaining in the first half. – 7:46 PM

Scott Foster will never let you know he is from Maryland when officiating a Wizards game – 7:37 PM
Brady Hawk @BradyHawk305
Jimmy Butler has spammed one move, the spin around mid-range jumper, for 3 straight games and it can’t be stopped – 7:33 PM
Ava Wallace @avarwallace
Raul Neto does not care if he finishes games in one piece – 7:32 PM
Josh Robbins @JoshuaBRobbins
The Wizards have turned the ball over seven times in the game’s first 9:18, leading to six points. The Wizards had 17 turnovers in Thursday’s loss to the Heat, leading to 20 points. – 7:29 PM
Chase Hughes @ChaseHughesNBCS
The Wizards had 17 TOs against the Heat on Thu. and are hoping to limit them tonight. They have 7 TOs in 9:18. – 7:29 PM
Brady Hawk @BradyHawk305
Nobody is better at that than Jimmy Butler
As I’ve said for a while, his best skill in the game of basketball is weakside defending – 7:28 PM

One order of bucket with a free throw on the side, please.

The first Duncan Robinson foul less than 3 minutes in. Now the concern about a second. – 7:15 PM

Daniel Gafford playing with a splint wrap on his right thumb getting tough whistles with the officials early.
First has a post-up on Kyle Lowry and no foul is called. Then has a hard screen and called for the offensive foul. Bounces back with a good catch in the paint + score. – 7:14 PM

Wes Unseld Jr. says limiting Spencer Dinwiddie in back-to-backs was a plan set before the season with the idea to re-evaluate that plan after 4-to-6 weeks. That would mean they will consider whether to keep doing it rather soon. – 5:22 PM
