QUOTABLE
Heat guard Tyler Herro on playing without Bam Adebayo and Jimmy Butler: “Obviously those are two guys that help us get settled, especially in the beginning of the game. We can throw the ball to either one of them and they create most of the action and offense for us. Without those two, the first unit is really just Kyle creating. We need to continue to work through these problems. Find solutions and we’ll be all right.”
