Not sure the Heat can afford to take Tyler Herro out of the game in this second half. And not sure there will be another stint for Duncan Robinson with that balky back. – 8:51 PM

Bam Adebayo has been fantastic on defense as usual and Tyler Herro has stepped up on the offensive end to play the role of scorer and facilitator.

Looks like Bulls have changed their coverage on Heat shooters coming off screens. Vucevic switched out that time, and Herro blew by him for a foul. – 8:42 PM

Heat go up 20 in second period, take 47-37 lead into half. Herro 10 for Heat, DeRozan 15 for Bulls. The offenses have set the NBA back about a decade. Although without Butler, Rozier, sort of what Heat need. – 8:11 PM

Miami cooled down for like the last 5 minutes and Bulls didn’t make it hurt enough. Herro with a big three puts it at 45-31 with 3:40 left. Lots of failing grades for the Bulls so far. – 8:01 PM

Heat went almost five minutes without scoring before Tyler Herro finally drained a pull-up 3-pointer in transition.
Bulls still trail 45-31. – 8:01 PM

Heat shooting 3 for 17 in the quarter, 20-point lead was down to 11 … and Herro just makes a 3.
Bulls didn’t take advantage of 6 really yuck minutes of Heat offense. Lead back to 45-31, 3:40 left in the half. – 8:01 PM

Anthony Chiang: Bam Adebayo on having to take on a bigger role along with Tyler Herro in Jimmy Butler’s absence: “This is our opportunity. We’ve always had little stints of this. But this is our opportunity right now.” -via Twitter @Anthony_Chiang / April 19, 2024
Adam Aaronson: Just asked Nic Batum about his game-clinching block of Tyler Herro in the final seconds of the game. He told me that just a minute earlier, assistant coaches showed him the exact play Miami ended up running for Herro, and he was prepared for it. Pretty impressive. -via Twitter @SixersAdam / April 18, 2024
Anthony Chiang: Terry Rozier (neck) and Josh Richardson (shoulder) ruled out for tomorrow’s play-in game vs. 76ers. Duncan Robinson is listed as probable. Tyler Herro and Kevin Love are listed as available. -via Twitter @Anthony_Chiang / April 16, 2024
