Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro played like an All-Star against the New York Knicks on Wednesday night.

Herro finished with 34 points, five rebounds, one steal and seven assists on 60 percent shooting. He shot 8 of 13 from three-point range in the 116-107 loss against the Knicks.

Herro looked comfortable as a scorer and playmaker. He found his open spots and drove to the paint.

“The coaching staff and my teammates made things easier for me,” Herro said. “Just being able to play off the snap, you know, obviously still have the ball in my hands where I can create and make plays. It was a smooth and easy transition just because my colleagues were able to help. We have so many guys that can get in the paint, so even though they’re not in the paint, they can still play aggressive basketball.”

It’s early in the season, but there are still some struggles on offense with Herro trying to get the ball to Bam Adebayo more consistently in certain areas to improve his offense.

“I think it can be difficult when you’re trying to get to a certain game that we’re trying to play,” Herro said. “I think at the same time, winning basketball is winning basketball, and if it means getting Jimmy and Bam the ball, then that’s it. I think a lot of people get caught up in the offensive rating number. As long as we win, then that’s all that matters.”
