Heat's Herro Raises Eyebrows By Going For 3 Rather Than Open Layup In Loss To Bulls

The Miami Heat were just about down to their last gasp trailing the Chicago Bulls by five in the closing minute.

Tyler Herro opted to pull up for a 3 rather than drive for a wide open layup. He missed, and the Heat lost to the Bulls 119-111 in a game with major seeding implications.

"I was feeling that shot," Herro said. "It's as simple as that. It's the shot I was feeling. Looking back on it now, obviously, after missing the shot, I should have laid the ball up."

Herro came into the game leading the team in scoring at a career-high 23.8 points per game average. The sixth-year pro out of Kentucky made his first All-Star team this year, and he came through with another big performance on Wednesday.

Herro led the Heat with 30 points. But the decision he made near the end of the game overshadowed all the shots he hit.
