Welcome to the Hot Hand, where after every Miami Heat game win or loss we recognize the player who best put his stamp on the game.
With the season on the line, reserve guard Tyler Johnson came up big-time for the Miami Heat. Johnson scored eight of his team-high 24 points in overtime as the Heat overcame the Cleveland Cavaliers, 124-121 who were minus all-stars LeBron James and Kyrie Irving. The Heat were able to overcome a slow start where they trailed by as many as 15 points early in the second term, eventually forcing the game into overtime where they were able to prevail.
