James Johnson drove to the rim and missed a shot at the end of overtime against the Denver Nuggets. The game was headed for a second overtime.
Johnson made sure there wouldn’t be any additional playing time needed.
The Heat forward scored 10 of his team’s 18 points in the second overtime period, lifting the Heat past a relentless Denver Nuggets team that seemingly responded to every run Miami made, 149-141. The scoring total marked the Heat’s franchise record for scoring. Johnson’s score here put the game out of reach for Denver.
But it wasn’t just this sweet fake and drive to the basket.
