The Miami Heat held off the Sacramento Kings 110-107 on Wednesday night, and the game’s leading scorer capped off his performance with a crazy shot for the win.
With the game tied 107-107, Tyler Herro nailed a nifty, high-difficulty three-pointer with 1.8 seconds for what would serve as the game-winning bucket.

That’s great patience with the shot fake to get the defender into the air and set up the shooting lane.
Herro did it all in this game for Miami, scoring a game-high 26 points, tying a game-high with 12 rebounds, blocking a game-high three shots, and putting together a game-high plus/minus of +26. The 22-year-old was named NBA Sixth Man of the Year last season.
After a disappointing 2-5 start, the Heat beat the defending champion Golden State Warriors on Tuesday and concluded the back-to-back with a dramatic victory.
Here’s a peek at how the NBA world is reacting to Herro’s game-winning three-pointer for the Heat:

Spo on Tyler Herro: “It got a little clunky there, it wasn’t the exact spacing we wanted.”
“He did what Jimmy just did last night, just create something out of nothing.”
“He’s a gutsy kid. He wants those moments and he really delivered tonight.” pic.twitter.com/QAXnq0q70b

Mike Brown says postgame that Tyler Herro traveled on that last play. He isn't happy about it.
"To not make that call to me is unbelievable…I don't think we got a fair whistle."
