Victorious of the Pacers last night, the Heat could still count on a Tyler Herro in factor X mode. Back after three games of absence, the sixth man from Miami did not do things by halves.

The weeks pass and a feeling remains: who will be able to go and withdraw the crown of Sixth Man Of the Year from the head of Tyler Herro? Still hot, the former Kentucky didn’t need much time to cook an Indiana team that was already dumped at the break. The recipe is known to everyone: bucket in large quantities and over a short period of time. 26 points and 5 assists for the local darling and all that in… 21 short minutes. Not content to finish co-best scorer of the match (with a Duncan Robinson also hot), Herro also offered the best +/- with 31, proof of its immense impact on the meeting. More than numbers, it is also on the floor that Tyler dotted the i’s. Big shots on the head of several defenders (stepback 3 despite a double closeout, a bomb in first intention – dedication to Kevin Durant – but also a beautiful tomar which made rise the American Airlines Arena like one man). We had the right to efficiency, we had the right to the show, the Heat won a fatal victory in their den, we know one who deserved his shower.
What a start to the season for Tyler Herro! Planting around twenty points over the first fifteen days, or even growing over a month, it had all a great story to bring the end of the year to life but the kid is not a fan of Christmas movies (to be honest, we don’t know) and he intends to continue fueling until next June. His pace dropped a bit in December due to a game or two below his current standards, but the third-year player is still above the twenty-point mark despite his role off the bench. Big favorite for the title of Sixth Man of the Year, and also in the race for the best progression, Herro can already rub his hands. Who says third year says eligibility at the end of the season for a new contract. Suffice to say that if he shows up in Pat Riley’s office with 20 points per game out of the bench and the label of best substitute in the League, the godfather will have to take out the big suitcase under his desk and stretch the greenbacks .
Tyler Herro was barely coming back from a thigh injury and it didn’t take long to regain his feelings on the pitch. New big perf for the one who was not traded for James Harden. A phrase that we hear oddly less and less often lately: no doubt that the hot shots of the youngster have something to do with it.
