With 24 seconds left in the regulation, the Warriors worked the clock down to five seconds against an upset-minded Monument Valley squad before they took a shot and there was Johnson doing what he does best.
The senior forward positioned his body and snarled down an offensive board and scored the game-winning shot with a putback as Tuba City overcame a double-digit deficit to score an ugly 45-43 win.
