Less than three minutes into the Miami Heat’s game against the Philadelphia 76ers on Monday, Goran Dragic stole a pass from Wilson Chandler, drove the length of the court and finished with a running layup.
It was a simple play, one Dragic has done many times in his career.
But it was a play Dragic needed nonetheless, considering he was held scoreless for the first time in his five years with the Heat two nights earlier against the Washington Wizards in his first game back while dealing with a knee injury.
And by game’s end on Monday, Dragic had posted a team-high 24 points.
