Erik Spoelstra admits how he's utilized Keshad Johnson hasn't been fair

""I'm really happy for [Keshad Johnson]," he said after the game."When I have given him minutes, they haven't been fair. This is the first game I have played him at the 4 (power forward). The other games, I've played him at the 5 (center) - first game was against [Nikola Jokic]. I mean c'mon. That's not even fair."

""He has stayed diligent. He's constantly being mentored by [Malik Allen], [Udonis Haslem] and [Bam Adebayo]. Everybody roots for him because he's so pure. He really works at it. He stays ready so he doesn't have to get ready. And he finally got an opportunity where it was much more in his wheelhouse and he made a big impact.""

""Coach Spo told me to be ready and do what I do. To bring energy," Johnson said."

The Miami Heat defeated the Chicago Bulls 143-107 at the United Center. Seven Heat players reached double figures for the sixth time this season. Keshad Johnson produced 14 points, 12 rebounds, two blocks, one steal and one assist in 29 minutes. Johnson had previously been used mainly as an emergency backup center and often appeared undersized for that role. Playing Johnson at power forward allowed him to perform in his natural wheelhouse and make a major impact. The Heat were without Andrew Wiggins and Nikola Jović, and Johnson drew mentorship from Malik Allen, Udonis Haslem and Bam Adebayo.
