MIAMI (CBSMiami/AP) — On a night where the Miami Heat got Hassan Whiteside back from injury, it was two much smaller players who provided the spark the team needed.
Josh Richardson scored 20 points, Wayne Ellington had 12 of his 18 points in a dominant fourth quarter and Miami beat the struggling Orlando Magic 107-89 on Tuesday night.
Tyler Johnson added 17, Kelly Olynyk scored 15 and Goran Dragic had 14 for the Heat, who outscored Orlando 39-21 in the fourth — the biggest margin by Miami in a final quarter this season.
Hassan Whiteside returned from an 11-game absence with a bone bruise in his left knee, adding seven points and eight rebounds in 18 minutes.
