MIAMI (AP) — When Miami traded Mario Chalmers earlier this week, Heat President Pat Riley decided it was time for a chat with reserve guard Tyler Johnson.
Riley’s message was short and sweet.
“Now, it’s on,” Riley said. “That’s what I said to him: ‘Game on. You’re not the third guard now.’ And we have every confidence in him.”
Johnson keeps showing why that’s the case.
Chris Bosh led the way with 25 points, and Johnson capped his 17-point night with two key field goals in the final 1:48 as the Heat topped the Utah Jazz 92-91 on Thursday night for their third straight win to open a seven-game homestand.
