DeShawn Stevenson scored 26 points Thursday night, as all the Washington Wizards starters scored in double figures, and sent the Miami crowd unhappy as they defeated the Heat 104-91. The 26 points is a season high for the veteran?guard now playing in his eighth NBA season and second with the Wizards.?He shot 8-15 from the floor, 6-12 from outside the arc, and went a perfect 4-4 from the line.

Washington basically controlled the game from the end of the first quarter on?leading at the end of the period 28-16. Miami was able to shave off 2 points, to have it a 59-49 game at the half but the Wizards got the 2 back by the end of the third leading 82-70 heading in to the final quarter. The Heat were able to get the lead as low as 7 points 3 times in the fourth, but could never get any closer.
