Attention future YouTube users who searched “James Johnson” and are trying to decide which of his 26-point performances you should watch first: watch the one that isn’t this one. Then, if you really like what you see and absolutely need to see more, you can watch this one.
Not all 26-point performances are created equal. This one has a buzzer-beating three that almost touched the International Space Station, the other had an ankle-breaker that wasn’t. But the main difference is that this one has a lot of free-throws (which are lame, but you asked for them) in it, and it would have had more if James Johsnon hadn’t missed a bunch. It’s still a great game by him, and to be honest my mind is kind of blown by these back-to-back games near his career-high, but the first was better.
I feel like I should mention something about how the Heat’s improbable winning streak was just ended, but I’m not 100% convinced it ever happened in the first place.
