1. Richardson and Whiteside Come Alive in the Fourth
With Miami down nine entering the fourth quarter, both Josh Richardson and Hassan Whiteside answered the call with a nice offensive surge to narrow the gap. Richardson continued to remain hot from the three-point line, while Whiteside did his usual damage inside. Both guys combined for 20 points in the final period and did all they could to will the HEAT to victory.
