How Josh Richardson saved the Miami Heat
Tom Szczerbowski-USA TODAY SportsLast season injuries should have wrecked the Heat's season. Josh Richardson unexpectedly came to the rescue.
Tyler Johnson had shoulder surgery on February 4, 2016 to effectively end his season. Chris Bosh played his last game for the year on Feb. 9, 2016 due to medical issues. Yet the Miami Heat went on to capture the third seed for the playoffs despite the setbacks.
In their first game after All-Star break, the Heat defeated the Hawks, 115-111, without Bosh, Dwyane Wade or Hassan Whiteside. Luol Deng scored 30 points and Josh McRoberts had 19 points, 10 assists and 6 rebounds off the bench in a gutsy team effort.
