Terry Rozier III scored 27 points, Bam Adebayo had 22 and the Miami Heat grinded out a 119-107 victory over the Washington Wizards on Sunday night.

Jimmy Butler added 17 points for the Heat, who won their second straight. Miami, seventh in the Eastern Conference, went 25 for 29 from the free throw line to move within a half-game of Indiana in the race to avoid the NBA Play-In Tournament.

Despite reaching the NBA Finals from the No. 7 seed last season, Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said there’s every reason to chase as high a position as possible.

“We’re going for it. That’s who we are,” Spoelstra said. “And if we see opportunity in front of us, that’s what we’re going for.”

Miami will play three teams grappling for East playoff position in its next four games, beginning with New York at home on Tuesday.

“We can’t worry about the next four, we’ve got to worry about the next one,” Adebayo said. “Both teams got something to lose at the end of the day. So there’s going to be a little more edge.”
