Tyler Herro scores 40 in Heat's 120-113 loss to Bucks

Tyler Herro delivered an impressive performance with 40 points, 11 assists, and seven rebounds in the Miami Heat's 120-113 loss to the Milwaukee Bucks. Despite leading by as many as 14 points in the first half and entering the fourth quarter with an eight-point lead, the Heat were outscored 35-20 in the final period, continuing their trend of fourth-quarter struggles. Herro's scoring included a season-high in free-throw attempts and makes, but the team failed to regain the lead after Milwaukee's pivotal 15-2 run early in the fourth. Bam Adebayo contributed 24 points, but the Heat's offensive inconsistency has been a major concern, especially with recent losses. The Heat now face the Atlanta Hawks in a critical matchup as they seek to improve their playoff positioning. Coach Erik Spoelstra noted the need for collective grit and consistency amidst the team's ongoing struggles.
