The Washington Wizards posted just their second win of the NBA season, overcoming a triple-double by Miami’s LeBron James to stun the reigning champion Heat 105-101.
Jordan Crawford scored 22 points and Kevin Seraphin scored 16 points with 10 rebounds as the woeful Wizards again showed they have the Heat’s number.
Washington have now won three straight meetings with Miami, dating back to late last season.
A.J. Price added 14 points and Martell Webster scored 13 off the bench for the Wizards, who went into the contest with a league-worst 1-13 record. They started the season with 12 straight defeats before posting a two-point win over Portland last week.
James led all scorers with 26 points and also contributed 13 rebounds and 11 assists.
Nevertheless, the Heat never led after the first quarter and saw their six-game winning streak end.
Dwyane Wade finished with 24 points in defeat for Miami, with Chris Bosh putting up 20 points and 12 rebounds.
