Jazz's Joe Johnson: Produces bench-leading scoring total Monday

Johnson totaled 19 points (7-14 FG, 5-7 3Pt, 0-1 FT), five rebounds, five assists and one steal over 28 minutes in Monday's 105-99 win over the Warriors.

Analysis:

The 35-year-old continues to sport the hot hand from the field and he's now posted double-digit scoring in five straight games. Johnson has hit at least 50 percent of his shots in three of those contests and has been particularly lethal from behind the arc, draining 63.3 percent of his 30 three-point attempts in five April games. His experience and scoring contributions off the bench figure to play a pivotal role in the Jazz's postseason fortunes.
