Dwyane Wade on seeing Tyler Herro break his record

Tyler Herro etched himself into NBA History books after his outstanding performance in Game 4 of the ECF. Coming off the bench, he led the team to a 3-1 lead against the Celtics and dropped a career-high of 37 points. If this wasn’t enough, he also broke Dwyane Wade’s franchise record for the most points scored by a rookie in the Playoffs.

Dwyane Wade was part of the Miami Heat for most of his career and was one of the legends of the franchise. When reacting to Herro, Wade at first showed some humorous remorse by posting, “It was a great record while it lasted.”

After that, when the record was officially updated to Tyler Herro, Wade appreciated the latter and wrote, “He’s special!”

Looking at his own team’s legend comment on his record, Herro would be flattered. It was indeed a great day for the rookie, as he also became the youngest player in NBA history to drop 30 points off the bench. This can be a great motivation for the team in the remaining series. The experienced players will be even more fired up if the youth continue to perform this way, .

Is the Miami heat heading towards NBA Finals?

After the incredible run, they’ve had this season, who wouldn’t want that for them? There is no doubt that the Celtics are equally deserving. But the Heat is showing different greed within to achieve the ring. It’s very less likely for them to be giving up this lead. Whoever gets to face them in the finals has a lot to worry about.
