Although the Golden State Warriors pulled out the victory, it wasn’t before Josh Richardson made fans understand why the Heat didn’t want to trade the young stud. Richardson made eight threes en route to scoring a career-high 37 points.
Richardson, a key factor in the Jimmy Butler to Miami trade that never was, has been highly sought after by many teams. Last night, he proved why Miami has put its long-term future in his hands.
He was absolutely brilliant. He played his game, not letting the Dubs formidable defense get to him. He stepped into shots with confidence, making eight of his eleven attempts from deep.
