Tyler Herro · If conquering crunchtime scenarios in hostile road environments are what separate the boys from the men, the All-Star affectionately known as “Boy Wonder” certainly left it up for debate. Determined to press mute on the “DEFENSE” chants, and pause on the Orlando Magic’s victory hopes at once, Tyler Herro breaks free for an outlet, immediately pondering the venue of his could-be game-winner. Knowing one of his “sweet spots” of seasons past to be just a hard drive away, Miami’s bucket-getter pumps his brakes, elevating over Trevelin Queen for a crowd-silencing game-winner. Among four different players to drain a walk-off bucket during December 26, 2024’s thrill of a day, Herro made himself heroic in what would become the first of two different come-from-behind wins over his in-state rival. Building an early case for what would become his best individual season to date, Herro finished this evening with 20 points (on 8-of-17 shooting), three rebounds, two assists, one steal, and three 3-pointers. · State of Mint
