Five takeaways from the Heat’s 117-111 comeback victory over the Orlando Magic on Saturday, which prevented Miami from dropping back-to-back games to teams with losing records.
1. Tyler Johnson has huge third quarter, avoids further dental trauma. First he took over the third quarter. Then he went crashing face-first onto the court. Then he stayed in the game, collecting a game-sealing rebound in the closing seconds and helped the Heat avoid what would have been disappointing defeats in back-to-back games.
Johnson scored 22 of his season-high 31 points in the third quarter on 10 of 11 shooting to help the Heat eventually erase what was an 18-point deficit earlier in the quarter.
