Celtics' Amir Johnson: Surprises with great all-around effort Sunday

Johnson contributed 14 points (6-6 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-1 FT), seven rebounds, five assists and two steals across 27 minutes during Sunday's 112-108 victory over the Heat.

Analysis:

Johnson did it all Sunday against a surging Heat team, making all of his shot attempts, rebounding well, setting up his teammates to score and being a defensive presence. He tied his season-high five assists and managed his best scoring effort since he dropped 14 points Feb. 8 against the Kings. As the Celtics look to boost their playoff seeding, they'll need Johnson to bring it every night as the starter at power forward next to center Al Horford. He'll look to have another impressive performance Wednesday against the Bucks.
