Miami Heat: Erik Spoelstra says the Tyler Herro Show must go on

The Miami Heat weren’t able to sweep Milwaukee in Game Four, but Tyler Herro made a few big shots. Coach Erik Spoelstra has indicated that he must keep it up.

The Miami Heat have another chance to close out their second-round series on Tuesday. After having a chance to sweep the Milwaukee Bucks in Game Four on Sunday afternoon and not succeeding, they will look to get the job done in Game Five.

With Giannis Antetokounmpo injuring his ankle in Game Three and reaggravating it in Game Four, which caused him to miss the entire second half of Game Four, his status for Game Five on Tuesday is still up in the air. Regardless of whether he plays or not in all actuality, the Miami Heat have prepared for a Bucks team with or without The Greek Freak.

Appropriately so and as they should, you can expect that Coach Spo will have them ready to try and get this thing over with, once and for all.

Back to Game Four and although where they weren’t able to get the job done, there were several bright spots in that contest. Not only did Duncan Robinson get going as good as we have seen in this series, Tyler Herro really came alive in the final moments to help the Heat remain within a chance of winning.

At the end of the regulation period in the fourth quarter and twice near the end of the overtime period, Tyler Herro hit big shots from distance that either put the Miami Heat in a position to win the game outright or come withing a possession of doing so. He was absolutely clutch in the biggest moments.

The Miami Heat needed a few more big shots on Sunday to win the game, but those that they did get came from a guy who hasn’t ever been in those kinds of moments.

The Heat rookie out of Kentucky, who just so happens to be from a practical suburb of Milwaukee in Greenfield, Wisconsin, stepped up to hit the shots like he had been in the league for years and had seen those types of moments already.

Although the Miami Heat weren’t able to win that game, it wasn’t all for naught. Here is what Coach Spo had to say of Herro on Monday, per the Twitter account of the South Florida Sun Sentinel’s Ira Winderman.

The Miami Heat, again, have a chance to end things on Tuesday in their second-round series with the Bucks. Let’s hope that they can do so with the Celtics going up 3-2 in their series over Toronto.

You don’t want them sitting around the bubble resting while the Heat continue to labor in a series that should have been over. Tyler Herro should have a major part in trying to get that done, as he is sure to have a major part in the rest of the Miami Heat’s playoff run as well.

Either way it goes, the sentiments are clear from Erik Spoelstra. The Tyler Herro Show must go on.
