The Los Angeles Clippers might be missing four of the five starters that played during their last meeting with the Miami Heat earlier this season, but it took a career night from Josh Richardson and clutch baskets late in the game to outlast the Clippers 90-85 at the AmericanAirlines Arena on Saturday night.
Coach Erik Spoelstra secured win #455 to become the Heat coach with the most career victories under his belt, surpassing his mentor Pat Riley. Miami also improved to 15-14 and a game over .500 in the increasingly tight playoff race in the East.
