James Johnson has a reputation as an athletic hothead.
He put both traits on display after Hawks forward Taurean Prince threw down Hassan Whiteside late in the Heat’s 116-93 win.
And good for Johnson. Prince’s actions were dirty, and you have to protect the franchise player.
Johnson received a technical foul and ejection. Taurean Prince earned a flagrant 2 and automatic ejection. Miami guard Dion Waiters also got hit with a technical foul.
