“He’s [Johnson] got great hands," said Bruins coach Mick Cronin after the game. "He and I are working on some things that he’s got to give us from a leadership standpoint, as far as taking care of the ball, being disciplined in his traps. He needs to take everything I say to him to heart and realizing that, like most of the guys on our team, that you don’t have a very big window to make it. You have a very small window. You can’t have blind spots in your game. You’ve got to be able to play great defense without fouling. It's just little things, trying to put more discipline into things that he does.”
