A Chilly Night in Washington for the Heat

Looking like they had lost their best friend, in Joel Anthony who was traded to the +Boston Celtics, the +Miami HEAT  came on the court with hearts in mourning. Joel Anthony has been a force beneath their wings to help weather the storms under the rim and in the paint through the last seven seasons, making a career high 456 blocks and playing in 382 games. Joel Anthony won two +NBA Championship rings in 2012 and 2013.

Tonight's game was a steal for the +Washington Wizards but Greg Oden brought a glimmer of light on the court with bouncing athleticism going to the rim. With two-and-a-half minutes remaining in Q1, his team was down but taking a pass from +LeBron James, Oden took it up, confidently executing at the rim, fulfilling a long time passion to play beside +LeBron James.
