James Johnson’s 23 points not enough as Thunder edge Miami Heat

Throughout his entire career, James Johnson has described himself as a “swiss army knife” type of guy, a jack-of-all-trades.

That mentality manifested itself in front of a hostile crowd at Chesapeake Energy Arena, as the Miami Heat took on the Oklahoma City Thunder Friday night. However, it proved to not be enough.

Johnson scored 23 points and grabbed four rebounds and Goran Dragic tallied 20 points and five assists, as the Heat fell just short, 105-99.

Miami got 14 each from Justise Winslow and Wayne Ellington, but were outscored 41-33 in the fourth quarter as the Thunder came out blazing.
