The star of Miami Heat, Tyler Herro, tried to be against the Chicago Bulls on Wednesday night, a hero.
However, their efforts fell short and faced the anger of social networks.
The Heat fell five points in the last minute of the game against the Bulls. Herro stole the ball from the Bulls shipowner, Coby White, and instead of going through the open tray to cut the three -point deficit with the side watch, Herro stopped for a triple.

The ball revolved around the edge and out. Chicago won the game, 119-111.
The Miami guard scored 30 points, and the loss of the team put them in the tenth place in the playoffs, on the edge of the game tournament. The victory of the Bulls put them in front of the heat.
“I was feeling that shot,” said Herro. “It’s as simple as that. It’s the shot I was feeling. Looking back now, obviously, after losing the shot, I should have placed the ball.”

Herro faced criticism on social networks.
The Bam Adebayo heat center defended Herro after the game.
“That child has made many difficult cubes in his career,” said Adebayo. “You take away your hat when it shoots something like that. That is a murderous mentality. For me, that is one of the best looks that has all night, so you live with that. One hundred for one hundred would not be talking about that if I succeeded.”
