MIAMI (AP) — Bam Adebayo had 19 points and 15 rebounds to break Miami's franchise record for double-doubles, and the Heat cruised to a 106-90 victory over the NBA-worst Washington Wizards on Monday night.
Adebayo, in his eighth season with Miami, reached the milestone with a rebound late in the second quarter. He has 222 double-doubles, one more than Rony Seikaly had in six seasons from 1988-94.

Wizards rookie Kyshawn George left with a jaw injury in the fourth quarter after taking an inadvertent elbow from Adebayo.
Duncan Robinson scored 17 points, and Tyler Herro and Pelle Larsson had 16 apiece for the Heat, who have won three of four. Miami is seventh in the Eastern Conference and is seeking to make a push for a guaranteed playoff spot.
Khris Middleton led Washington with 16 points and Bub Carrington scored 14.
The Heat are 8-14 over their last 22 games.
Herro's 3-pointer with 2:21 left in the second quarter capped a 14-3 run that put Miami ahead 50-31, and the Heat were rarely challenged from there.
The Heat shot a pedestrian 47.6% from the field but held the Wizards to 36.9%.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump’s motorcade took a different route than usual to the airport as he was departing Florida on Sunday due to a “suspicious object,” according to the White House.
The object, which the White House did not describe, was discovered during security sweeps in advance of Trump’s arrival at Palm Beach International Airport.
“A further investigation was warranted and the presidential motorcade route was adjusted accordingly,” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a statement Sunday.
The president, when asked about the package by reporters, said, “I know nothing about it.”
Trump left his Palm Beach, Florida, club, Mar-a-Lago, around 6:20 p.m. for the roughly 10-minute drive to the airport, but took a circular route around the city to get there.
During the drive, police officers on motorcycles created a moving blockade for the motorcade, at one point almost colliding with the vans that accompanied Trump.
Air Force One was parked on the opposite side of the airport from where it is usually located and the lights outside the plane were turned off.
Anthony Guglielmi, the spokesman for U.S. Secret Service, said the secondary route was taken just as a precaution and that “that is standard protocol.”
