“Tyler Herro really did his best Stephen Curry impersonation”: NBA Twitter left stunned as the Heat guard unintentionally knocks down a half-court shot meant to be a lob for Jimmy Butler

During the Heat-Pelicans clash, Tyler Herro tossed up a lob for Jimmy Butler from beyond the half-court line and unintentionally knocked it down.  

Erik Spoelstra’s Miami Heat hosted an ailing New Orleans Pelicans squad at the FTX Arena. Despite being slightly short-handed, playing without the likes of Bam Adebayo and Kyle Lowry, the Heat continue their impressive run to this season. Behind the stellar performances by Jimmy Butler and Tyler Herro, Miami managed to grab a comfortable 113-98 win over a Zion Williamson-less NOLA squad.

After being sidelined for three games with a sprained right ankle, Jimmy Buckets returned to the court in quite a style. Recording his 12^th triple-double of his career, the Heat leader put up 31 points, 10 rebounds, and 10 assists on a 55.6/50/83.3 shooting split.

Tyler Herro put yet another terrific performance to his sensational breakout season. After averaging 25.75 points the past 4 games, Herro put up 19 points, 5 assists, 3 rebounds, and a steal, finishing the game with the game-high +/- of +19, playing a huge role in helping Miami win their 3^rd straight game.
