Although Josh Richardson had been struggling with his shot heading into this
past week, he continued to plug away and made his presence felt on the defensive
end. Once the 24-year-old started to get going offensively against the Cavaliers
and Knicks, it finally all came together on Friday versus the Hornets.
In that matchup with Charlotte, Richardson scored a career-high 27 points on
11-of-14 shooting and did pretty much whatever he wanted. Whether it was attacks
in transition, drives in the half court, pull-up mid-range jumpers or his usual
catch-and-shoot treys, the former Tennessee Volunteer got the job done.
Over the HEAT’s last four contests, Richardson led Miami with 16.8 points per
game and 10 made threes. On the flip side of the ball, he competed hard against
some tough assignments, including Tim Hardaway Jr., Nicolas Batum and Kevin
Durant.
