Danny Avdia’s impressive period continued tonight (between Wednesday and Thursday) when the Israeli of Washington was one more return ball away from recording a historic triple double for him. The Wizards, unfortunately for the Israeli, lost 113:105 despite his excellent performance on the floor in Miami.
Avdia finished with 12 points on 50% from the field (5 of 10), added 10 assists and 9 rebounds. He also had 2 blocks and a steal along with 4 turnovers. He got 41 minutes on the floor, more than any other Washington player. For the Israeli, two personal records were recorded in the game – the highest number of assists he handed out in one game and the first time he recorded a double-double in two consecutive games. At the end, the Wizards dropped to an 8:10 record (positive) while still in sixth place in the East.
For their part, the Heat still have a negative balance (11:8) and at this stage are not even part of the top ten of the Eastern Conference. Leading them to their seventh home win of the season was veteran guard Kyle Lowry who finished with 28 points, while small forward Caleb Martin contributed another 24 points and 9 rebounds. Center Bam Adbio provided 15 points and 11 rebounds and Tyler Hero also stood out with 17.
Deni Avdija has now dished out a career high 10 assists and has recorded a double-double in consecutive games for the first time in his career. #DCAboveAll

However, in the third quarter, Washington returned to the game in a great way and narrowed the difference to only 3 points entering the decisive quarter, where Laurie and Martin closed the matter for the Heat.
