Miami Heat: James Johnson is Game 2 X-Factor, what’s up next?

Dwyane Wade returned for games like this.

After the Miami Heat were outplayed and outshot in Game 1 of their first round series with the Philadelphia 76ers, Wade willed the team back into the series with a thrilling road win to even the series heading to Miami.

Tallying 28 points, Wade delivered one dagger after another, as the Sixers threatened a Heat lead that hung around double digits for much of the second half. With the Sixers driving to tie the game late in the fourth quarter, Wade came up with a steal on Dario Saric and facilitiated or scored on their next three baskets, to seal the game (including a jumper over Ben Simmons with just seconds remaining).
