There is no denying Tyler Johnson‘s athleticism and/or game. It’s one of the reasons the Miami Heat paid him and kept him this offseason. Though he spent some games injured, when he comes in the game, he makes a difference on the court when he wants to.
Tonight he had a game for the ages, playing 38 minutes off the bench and dropping 32 points.
One of the highlights from his performance was this ridiculous slam at the top of the fourth quarter, which started from a beautiful pass by James Johnson. It was a Johnson & Johnson connection. The finished product was a rim rattler that Nikola Vucevic wanted no parts of.
Unfortunately, even with this great game from Tyler, the Heat still lost.
Four players from the Orlando Magic (Serge Ibaka, Evan Fournier, Elfrid Payton and Vucevic) all dropped over 20 points for the squad, sealing the road win.
FINAL: ORL 136 | MIA 130
