Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro put on an incredible display against the Los Angeles Lakers, scoring 31 points and tying an NBA record with nine 3-pointers in the third quarter. The Heat’s dominant performance helped them secure a 134-93 victory, marking their first win after a two-game losing streak.
Herro’s impressive shooting led the way for the Heat, who outscored the Lakers by 16 points in the third quarter alone. He also scored an impressive 3-pointer over Anthony Davis and outperformed the entire Lakers team in that frame, scoring 21 points compared to their 20.
The Heat’s victory not only solidified their position at 10-10 but also showcased the individual brilliance of Herro and other contributors like Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo. Butler added 17 points and nine rebounds, while Adebayo recorded a double-double with 14 points, 10 rebounds, and seven assists.
The Lakers, on the other hand, continued their struggles, suffering a 29-point loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves earlier in the week. Coach J.J. Redick expressed his disappointment, stating that the team lacked “proper fight or professionalism” in the game. LeBron James managed to break his five-game drought from behind the arc but ultimately fell short of matching Herro’s impressive performance.
