MIAMI — The Miami Heat had to try it a different way, with Tyler Herro and his all-or-nothing theatrics not available Monday night due to an ankle sprain.
So after blowing a 15-point lead to the Portland Blazers and falling behind in the fourth quarter, the Heat had to turn elsewhere.
This wasn’t going to be Herro for the win, as it was on Thursday night against the visiting Sacramento Kings on Thursday night, or Herro coming up short at the buzzer, as it was Friday night on the road against the Indiana Pacers.
