GAME RECAP
Impact player
Tyler Johnson, Miami
The 6-4 guard, undrafted out of Fresno State in 2014, showed why the Heat matched a four-year, $50 million offer sheet last summer by scoring 23 points off the bench, 15 in the third quarter alone.
By the Numbers
37 The Wolves' franchise-best streak of 20-or-more-assist games ended when they had only 14.
23-5 Miami's record after starting the season 11-30.
20 Ricky Rubio points, his fourth consecutive 20-point game. That's the longest of his six-year career. But the Wolves are 1-3 in those games.
