Heat guard Tyler Herro on being at the midpoint of the season: “We cool,” he said. “Honestly, can be better. But we’d rather be seven games over .500 than seven games under .500. So we’ll be just fine. There’s plenty of games left. We’ve got some really good teams that we’ve got coming up, so we just got to show that we can compete and we belong at the top of this thing.”
