MIAMI (CBSMiami/AP) — As the Miami Heat continue to gain momentum, obstacles continue to pop up.
An easy win still presented Miami with some potential issues.
James Johnson scored 20 points on 8-for-9 shooting, the Heat piled up 76 points in the paint and rolled past the Washington Wizards 129-102 on Saturday night.
Miami’s starting five shot 77 percent, with Johnson and Josh Richardson — the Heat starting forwards — connecting on a combined 14 of their 15 shots.
“We were very detail-oriented,” Johnson said.
But the postgame mood was at least somewhat tempered by injury concerns.
