Despite playing without Jimmy Butler, the Heat are in the middle of a three-game winning streak.
After the win, Herro was asked about their hot stretch when he met with the media.
Herro: “This is what we wanted. To get back on the road, get away from all the chaos and just come out here and compete. Get back to who we are; get back to our identity… We got enough, so that’s all that matters.”
Herro is having arguably the best season of his career.
There is a very good case for him to make the 2025 NBA All-Star Game, as he has averages of 23.8 points, 5.6 rebounds and 5.0 assists per contest while shooting 46.9% from the field and 40.5% from the three-point range in 37 games.

“This is what we wanted. Just to get back on the road, get away from all the chaos. Just come out here and compete, get back to who we are.”
“Rallying around each other. Making it about the guys that are here now…We got enough.”
