Heat guard Tyler Herro on playoffs push: “We still have a good opportunity to put ourselves in a position to get in the play-in and then get back in the playoffs. And that’s what we want ... “We just got to stay with it,” Herro said. “I know it’s getting old hearing that, but that’s our job, is to stick with it. I think these last couple of games our spirit hasn’t been at the level that it needs to be."
