WASHINGTON -- For the new-look Miami Heat, a high-scoring victory over the Washington Wizards proved winning is possible on a bad defensive night.Goran Dragic scored 22 points, Hassan Whiteside added 18 and 18 rebounds and the Heat beat the Wizards 114-111 despite some rough moments on the defensive end.James Johnson had 17 points off the bench for Miami, which both scored and allowed its most points all season to register its first back-to-back wins.Its a huge game for us, said Dragic, whose team entered Saturday ranked third in the league in average points allowed. Were not a team that runs a whole lot. ... But we just need to grind. And we did that tonight.Miami got its first road victory since its season opener despite 34 points each from Washingtons John Wall and Bradley Beal, both good for season highs.Dion Waiters scored 16 points for Miami, and Josh Richardson hit four 3-pointers among his 15 points as Miami went 13 for 27 (48.1 percent) from beyond the arc. In all, six Heat players scored in double figures.We try to get to the paint and attack, Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. But teams have been really loading up on that, and so were trying to develop some more trust, some more ball movement to make teams pay for that.Miami shot 57.7 percent from the floor, almost 16 full points above its season average entering Saturday.They had some guys that usually dont make shots that made shots because they were basically workout shots -- there was nobody there to contest them, Wall said. I think we came out with intensity. I just think our one-on-one defense was terrible.Behind Wall and Beal, center Marcin Gortat scored 10 points and grabbed 16 rebounds. But no other Wizards hit double figures on a night Washington lost starting forward Markieff Morris to a sprained right ankle in the second quarter.After Dragics jumper gave Miami a 60-59 lead to end the first half, the Heat opened the third quarter on a 10-4 run, stretching their lead to 70-63 on Whitesides bank shot.Later in the third, Miami built its lead to 13 after a 12-4 stretch. Dragic drove inside for the last four points, his latter layup making it 89-76 with 2:41 left in the quarter.Man, the first half, nobody played defense, Dragic said. But we figured it out. The third quarter was good for us.Washington trailed by as many as 17 in the fourth, before closing the game on a 10-1 run. That was a little deceiving, with Walls second 3-pointer in that stretch coming with 0.9 seconds left.TIP-INSHeat: Improved to 3-0 when scoring 100 or more points ...

Pollock doubled, tripled and drove in three runs, and Patrick Corbin scattered four hits over six innings to help the Diamondbacks beat the Chicago Cubs 10-4. "Its definitely good to get the offence going," Pollock said. "We know we have it. For whatever reason its kind of been lacking in the last week or so. Its good to bust out and show weve got it. Weve just got to relax." Corbin (12-1) allowed one run, struck out six and walked three for the Diamondbacks, who won for the second time in five games since the All-Star break to remain a half-game behind the first-place Los Angeles Dodgers in the NL West. "Patrick wasnt very sharp early, but hes just really good at battling through things," said Arizona manager Kirk Gibson. "Its only fitting he got the win." Eric Chavez also tripled and had three RBIs. Martin Prado homered and Paul Goldschmidt added a run-scoring double for Arizona, which reached 10 runs for the first time since June 21. In a matchup of All-Stars on the mound, Cubs lefty Travis Wood (6-7) started strong but faded late, giving up four runs on eight hits and a pair of walks in 5 2-3 innings. Wood also singled and scored the Cubs first run in the second. Cubs manager Dale Sveum was ejected by plate umpire Dana DeMuth for arguing balls and strikes after Cody Ransom was called out on strikes to end the top of the third. "I didnt like the way he handled it, staring at Cody and following him," Sveum said. "It was over with. No need to keep staring at my player and baiting him." Wood retired his first nine hitters but recorded only eight outs against the final 16 Diamondbacks he faced. Prado tied the game at 1 with a long home run into the left-field stands with one out in the fifth. Arizona tacked on three more in the sixth. Adam Eaton led off with a single and scored when Pollock lined a hit-and-run double just inside the left-field line to make it 2-1. Wood walked Goldschmidt and appeared on the verge of escaping further damage when Cody Ross grounded into a double play.dddddddddddd. But Chavez tripled just past the extended glove of a sprinting Junior Lake and off the left-field wall to drive in Pollock. Wil Nieves RBI single gave Arizona a 4-1 lead. "The first five (innings) looked pretty good," Wood said. "Unfortunately they kind of figured me out and were able to throw up three more." Chavez added a two-run, two-out single and Prado had an RBI single in the seventh off Hector Rondon to give the Diamondbacks a 7-1 cushion. "Its contagious," Chavez said. "When things are going bad, you just have to turn it around the other way. But tonight dont mean nothing if we dont come back and back it up tomorrow." Nate Schierholtz came off the bench in the eighth to hit a two-run homer into the swimming pool area behind the right-centre fence off David Hernandez for his third career pinch-hit homer. That pulled Chicago to 7-3. Arizona put together its third straight three-run inning in the eighth on a two-run triple by Pollock and an RBI double by Goldschmidt, who had been intentionally walked the inning before. Lake homered with one out in the ninth for the Cubs, his third hit of the game. NOTES: Arizona is 18-2 when Corbin starts. ...
