They survived it, sort of, on Friday night, but can the Miami Heat keep asking Tyler Herro for salvation at the ends of games?
The Miami Heat currently possess the No. 8 seed in the Eastern Conference with a 27-30 record while trying to introduce several new team members into the rotation following the massive trade that sent ex-Heat superstar Jimmy Butler to the Golden State Warriors prior to the Feb.
The Heat (25-28) is in the middle of a transition period after trading Butler to the Golden State Warriors last week, entering the All-Star break on a four-game losing skid and in ninth place in the East. But Herro’s strong season has been among the biggest bright spots amid a rough season for the Heat.
On Saturday night, Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro won the NBA’s Three-Point Contest. On Sunday night, Herro capped off his memorable All-Star Weekend by playing in his first NBA All-Star Game.
Tyler Herro scored 10 of his 28 points in the fourth quarter and overtime, Andrew Wiggins added 25 points and the Miami Heat snapped a four-game losing streak by beating the Toronto Raptors 120-111.
