James Johnson Comes Up Huge In Win Saturday
7 years agoMiami Heat forward James Johnson was key to Miami's win over the Charlotte Hornets Saturday night. Down by five with under a minute left in the game, Johnson scored a driving layup to bring them within three. Then, Josh Richardson stole the inbound pass and Johnson hit the game-tying three-pointer with about 30 seconds left. Johnson made spectacular plays all game to finish with a season-high 22 points on 9-for-12 shooting, seven assists and six rebounds. His scoring fluctuates on a daily basis, and this was only the fourth time Johnson scored 20 or more points this season. However, Johnson's ability to modestly contribute in all categories makes him an asset in category leagues. Johnson will look to build on this performance Monday night against the Houston Rockets.
