Heat's Tyler Herro has NBA's top-selling jersey after Game 4 heroics
Miami Heat rookie Tyler Herro has become one of the NBA's most talented young players. He proved that during Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals against the Boston Celtics, putting up a career-high 37 points off the bench to help Miami take a 3-1 series lead.
People are taking notice of Herro's talent too. According to The Action Network's Darren Rovell, Herro had the highest-selling jersey in the NBA as of Thursday.
The 20-year-old had a strong regular season for Miami, averaging 13.5 points and 4.1 rebounds per game while shooting 42.8 % from the field and 38.9 % from three. He's been much more impressive in the playoffs, though, elevating his game to the next level. The 20-year-old is averaging 16.5 points and 5.7 rebounds while shooting 37.8 % from beyond the arc this postseason.
Over the Heat's last two games against the Celtics, Herro is averaging 29.5 points per game. He was a difference-maker in the fourth quarter of Game 4, scoring 17 of his 37 points in the final 12 minutes of the game.
Because of Herro's production, Miami is just one win away from the NBA Finals. If the Heat make it to the Finals, it'll be the first time since the 2013-14 campaign.
