Heat guard Tyler Herro on his recent play: “I just felt like the shots weren’t falling, or whatever the case may be,” he said, with the Heat turning their attention to Thursday night’s game against the Philadelphia 76ers at AmericanAirlines Arena. “But at the end of the day, like I said, continue to stick with it. It’s a long season. What goes around, comes around.”
