One of the last shots Luol Deng hit in a Miami Heat jersey came in the 2016 NBA Playoffs.
In the second round against the Toronto Raptors, Deng slashed to the hoop for a layup. A routine bucket midway through the first quarter, that basket would prove to be one of Deng’s most impactful baskets of the last two years.
The layup, which came off of a Tyler Johnson feed, split the Raptors’ Patrick Patterson and Serge Ibaka at the rim. Deng attacking the basket was his new normal.
