Jackson had 42 points today, as Miami took an easy win handed to them by a sloppy performance by Washington. "You play like that, and you're going to get beaten," said Washington coach Bob after the game. "Doesn't matter who you're playing - we proved that today." Poor play all afternoon, especially in clutch situations, proved costly for Washington and negated a solid outing by Patterson.

Miami was led by Jackson (42 points, 8 boards, 1 assists, 3 blocks), Thompson (5 points, 18 boards, 4 assists, a steal, a block), Davis (23 points, 2 assists, a steal). Washington was led by Patterson (13 points, 7 boards, 0 assists, a steal), Dirks (10 points, 3 assists, a steal, a block), Smith (15 points, a block).

Miami improve to 10-36 and 6-15 at home with this victory. They stay at #5 in the Southeast and hold at #15 overall in the Eastern Conference. Washington are now 21-24. They hold at #4 in the Southeast and hold at #8 overall in the Eastern Conference.
