Heat's Tyler Johnson beats Kings with game-saving block, 3-point play
Miami Heat/Vine
Having entered Sacramento without Hassan Whiteside (and Justise Winslow) to face a Kings team in the thick of the Western Conference playoff race, not much was expected from the 10-win Miami Heat on Wednesday.
Enter Tyler Johnson.
With the game tied in the final minute, Miami's third-year swingman chased down Darren Collison for an incredible fast-break block, before converting a circus and-1 on the other end as part of a personal 5-0 run to finish the game.
