Josh Richardson Rejects Richard Jefferson with Severe Swat at the Rim

Josh Richardson denied Richard Jefferson during the Miami Heat-Cleveland Cavaliers faceoff Saturday night at AmericanAirlines Arena.

Jefferson accepted the pass from guard Deron Williams on a backdoor cut and figured he'd be in for an easy lay-in.

But apparently, not on Richardson's watch.

The Heat guard jumped up and swatted the ball so aggressively that both it and Jefferson fell to the court, preserving Miami's 45-41 second-quarter lead.
