Miami Heat's Tyler Herro Channels Inner Kevin Durant After Career-High 41 Points In Win Against Houston Rockets
Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro shot the ball like Kevin Durant during Thursday's victory against the Houston Rockets.
So he earned the right to act like Durant in the postgame interview.
When asked when he knew he would score a career-high 41 points on 10 3-pointers, he offered, "When I woke up."
Durant used the same words a few weeks ago to describe when he felt he would score 45 points. Herro's performance was so key because the Heat were playing without starters Kyle Lowry and Bam Adebayo.
The roster was so depleted the Heat started veteran Udonis Haslem. So every point from Herro counted in the 111-108 victory.
"With our whole team, the game isn't easy. It's tough flying and playing in a back-to-back," Herro said. "So to be able to win this one, get back to .500 with another game before we head back home, it's big for us."
Herro's production came one night after scoring 35 points, including the winning basket against the Oklahoma City Thunder.
"He's a brilliant shooter," Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. "He can do it off the dribble and off the catch. That type of versatility is going to important for us going forward when we do get our full health back."
