If Miami Heat fans needed another reason to be thankful this Turkey Day, Tyler Herro has entered the chat. 

Herro furthered his All-Star case with a 27-point, eight-rebound performance in Wednesday’s 98-94 victory over the Charlotte Hornets. He scored 10 points in the fourth quarter’s final four minutes, sealing the win and keeping Miami from a crushing road loss. 

“He’s a shot-maker,” Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. “He’s not afraid of the moment.”

Social media members happily agreed with Spoelstra. Users on X (formerly Twitter) endlessly praised Herro following his stellar outing.

“Ain’t no Tyler Herro slander coming from me anymore he’s earned it,” wrote one X user. 

Some focused more on Herro’s defense. He had a pivotal steal with 6.1 seconds remaining, setting up a free throw opportunity and giving the Heat a 96-94 lead.

“What an improvement from him man,” X user @ashsantana_ posted. “I never thought I’d see the day!”

“Time to retire all anti-Tyler Herro talk,” added another X user. 

Herro averages 23.6 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 5.1 assists. One can only wonder where the Heat would be without him, especially with injuries limiting All-Star forward Jimmy Butler in recent weeks.

“Whether you wanted him gone or not, he has surpassed everyone’s expectations this season,” X user Tr3yDubD33 wrote. “No one saw this coming.”
