Herro scored 14 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists during Game 5 while shooting an impressive 50% from the field and 42.9% from the three-point range. The Heat held the Bucks to 103-94 as Jimmy Butler and Goran Dragic posted a team-high 17 points. Miami Heat will now face either Boston Celtics or Toronto Raptors in the Eastern Conference Finals. Herro, who was the Heat's No. 13 Round 1 pick in the 2019 NBA Draft, missed five weeks and 18 games during his rookie campaign in the NBA because of an injured ankle. His photo after arriving at the NBA bubble had received a lot of attention, especially since he called out his naysayers in his post.
