Few games in the current age of NBA basketball conclude with neither team scoring 90 points. That said, the NBA’s most recent matchup between the Miami Heat and Orlando Magic witnessed just that. Notably, Heat star Tyler Herro has been garnering widespread reactions from the NBA community for his game-winning basket against the Magic.

Inside Kia Center, the Heat defeated the Orlando Magic, who were shorthanded, 89-88. It was all thanks to Herro’s game-winning shot with 0.5 seconds remaining. Herro entered the game with just over five minutes remaining. In addition, he hit three crucial baskets in the closing minutes to end with a Heat-high 20 points on 8 of 17 shooting.

This was for a total of 53 points off turnovers (25 for the Heat and 28 for the Magic). Alec Burks was a significant contributor off the Heat bench on Thursday. He had 17 points, particularly 13 in the second half, to help the Heat take their first lead of the evening after trailing by 17 at one point.
