Pinoyliga Daily NBA Recap: 20-Year Old Herro Leads Miami in Game Four Win

When "Jimmy Buckets" couldn't get anything going especially in the first half, it was a hero who led the Miami Heat.

A 20-year old Tyler Herro to be exact.

Tyler Herro scored a playoff career-high 37 points off the bench to carry the Miami Heat to a 112-109 Game Four victory against the Boston Celtics in the National Basketball Association (NBA) Eastern Conference Finals.  With the win, the Heat are now up 3-1 and can book a return trip to the NBA Finals with another victory in Game Five. Herro shot 14 for 21 from the field including five for 10 from the three-point line. He and Jimmy Butler made five free throws in the final 13 seconds to help thwart the Celtics' last attempt at coming back into the game. Butler added 24 points and nine rebounds while Goran Dragic had 22 points. Bam Adebayo finished with 20 points, 12 rebounds, four assists, and two steals. Miami made 24 of their 27 attempts from the free-throw line and forced 19 Boston turnovers. 

Jayson Tatum recovered from a scoreless first half to finish with 28 points, nine rebounds, three blocks but also had six of the Celtics' 19 turnovers. Jaylen Brown added 21 points while Kemba Walker scored 20 points. Gordon Hayward scored 15 points off the bench in his second game back from an injury. The Celtics lost despite shooting 47% from the field and a 46-40 rebounding edge. When it came down to it, the Celtics couldn't get the stop they needed in the endgame.
