Generally speaking, the more a team faces each other, the less coaching matters. The smart coaches are the ones who figure out how to exploit the opposition first. Eventually both coaches know everything the other guy is trying to do and is no longer surprised by anything.
Basically, Spoelstra's coaching advantage should decrease with each game. It should be close to zero now - so it boils down to talent. If they don't have Butler, I don't think the Heat are much more talented than the Wizards are.
Frankly, I don't think they outplayed the Wizards last game. The game felt like a draw to me. The difference was just random variance in 3-point shooting and FT shooting. It wouldn't surprise me if a full analysis of the game would show that the Wizards had more quality shot attempts than Miami did.
