Wednesday's Heat News: Tyler Johnson reluctant to wear mouth guard

Adding to the menu: Ellington’s return could help Heat’s pick-and-roll game: The plan was to play Wayne Ellington only about 15 minutes in Monday’s loss to the Boston Celtics, a way to ease the 29-year-old guard back into the rotation after missing the first 16 games of the season with a badly bruised right thigh. Heat coach Erik Spoelstra, though, couldn’t help himself. Too many good things were happening on the offensive end in the second half with Ellington on the court to help space the floor, something the scoring-starved Heat has been searching for.
