By WILL GRAVES Associated Press PITTSBURGH — Ja’Khi Douglas was there during the dark days at Florida State when the losses piled up and the program’s reputation as a national power seemed like a distant memory.

Observations and other notes of interest from Friday night’s 121-114 victory over the Washington Wizards: – On a night of bells and whistles, the goal was singular. – A “W”. – Yes, the court was red – very, very red – for the Heat’s inaugural In-Season Tournament game. – And, yes, the City Edition jerseys said “Culture” across the chest, in case anyone wasn’t already beaten over the head with the concept during last season’s playoff run. – But entering 1-4, this wasn’t about fashion statements or haute couture. – It was about slowly removing stench. – From a start to the season that otherwise...

Forget the bells and whistles, Heat get needed victory over Wizards

MIAMI – This wasn’t about pushing the lead into double figures in the second period or up to 22 in the third or 25 in the fourth. This was about sustaining at least enough to not have to sweat out the final ticks. Something the Miami Heat couldn’t do in the Wednesday night loss to the Brooklyn Nets that dropped them to 1-4. Something they barely did on opening night against the Detroit Pistons, in their only previous win. So even with the trappings of the game counting as part of the NBA’s first-ever In-Season Tournament, and even with the Heat playing in their latest City Edition jerseys, ones...
