You already know that the Toronto Raptors’ James Johnson is a freak athlete. Back in December, his baseline tomahawk slam on Andre Drummond was an instant dunk-of-the-year candidate.
Tonight, in what could be an Eastern Conference Playoff preview against the Miami Heat, Johnson was at it again with this filthy two-hand flush over Chris “Birdman” Anderson.
The Raptors, who have lost four straight and are 1-of-9 in their last ten games, have been trying to regain their footing and cling to the fourth seed in the Eastern Conference standings.
Toronto is without starting center Jonas Valanciunas tonight after his wife Egle gave birth to a son late Thursday night.
