Herro led the team in scoring on Tuesday with 29 points on 7-of-9 shooting from the field, 3-of-4 shooting on his 3-point attempts and 12-of-16 from the free-throw line.
Undrafted rookie Nunn has been a pleasant surprise for Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra. The Chicago, Ill. native put up 17 points on Tuesday and is averaging 21.0 points per game through the first four games of the season.
