Despite some clutch shooting by Miami Heat rookie Tyler Herro, the Milwaukee Bucks avoided being swept after taking Game 4 on Sunday in overtime, 118-115.
Herro hit three 3-pointers in the final minute of the fourth quarter and overtime period as he nearly won the game for the Heat. He began his barrage of shots after he drained a 3-pointer with 58.3 seconds left in regulation to put the Heat up by one point.
Herro then connected on two additional long-range shots in the final 30 seconds of overtime to keep the Heat alive until the final buzzer. He finished with 11 points in the contest as Game 5 between the two teams is set to tip-off on Tuesday.

Following his shooting display, Herro was the No. 2 trending topic on Twitter as fans on social media walked away impressed with his outing. The performance even got the attention of NBA Rookie of the Year Ja Morant and Los Angeles Rams cornerback Jalen Ramsey.
Morant first reacted to the shooting by Herro, to which Ramsey responded to him and offered high praise for the 2019 NBA Draft class. Obviously, Morant agreed with that notion.
Yâall class like that!! Lol

Though the Heat lost, Herro showed up late in the game as he didn’t back down from the moment. He nearly won the game for the Heat but now Miami will need to regroup and put the performance behind them before Game 5.
