Welcome to the Hot Hand, where after every Miami Heat game win or loss we recognize the player who best put his stamp on the game.
When thinking of household NBA stars, the name James Johnson will hardly ring a bell, and the nine-year veteran has struggled finding a permanent home over the course of his career.
In step Erik Spoelstra, in step the Miami Heat.
As his first season in South Beach nears its end, Johnson is quickly becoming a fan favorite among the Miami faithful.
Finishing off another impressive starting performance with 22 points, 10 rebounds, 3 steals, and 2 blocks, Johnson once again stole the show as the Heat’s late comeback bid fell just short in the final minutes.
