The Miami Heat have undoubtedly found a diamond in the rough with their newest rookie sensation Tyler Herro, who came up huge in Sunday night’s victory over the Chicago Bulls.
With just 38.2 seconds remaining in the overtime period and the score knotted at 105 apiece, Herro received a pass from teammate Jimmy Butler, rose up and knocked down the go-ahead jumper to give the Heat the lead for good.
The sharpshooting rookie scored the last 11 points for the Heat and finished his night with 27 points, six rebounds and three assists.
The Heat remain undefeated at home and move to 17-6 on the season. Herro is averaging 14.0 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 2.0 assists on the season and looks to be improving with every game.
Next up, the Heat take on the Atlanta Hawks followed by a marquee matchup against the visiting Los Angeles Lakers.
