The reality is that with one loss over their remaining eight games, the Miami Heat will have the team’s first losing record since 2018-19. For now, though, for the first time in a long time,

Tyler Herro scored 30 points to lead the Miami Heat to a 118-95 victory over the short-handed Philadelphia 76ers.

His 17-point first half included a circus shot in which he split two 76ers defenders, drew a foul while throwing the ball underhanded into the basket and then hit the ensuing free throw. He added 13 points in the second half and closed the night with seven assists.
