Tyler Herro Says Jimmy Butler 'Like a Brother to Me' with Heat

The Miami Heat are one win away from the NBA Finals after defeating the Boston Celtics 112-109 in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals on Wednesday. Rookie guard Tyler Herro led Miami with 37 points on 14-of-21 shooting (5-of-10 from three-point range) off the Heat bench.

In a postgame chat with reporters, Herro expressed how much Miami forward Jimmy Butler has meant to him.

"Ever since I got here he's been like a big brother to me. ... Without Jimmy, I probably wouldn't be doing this as a rookie," he said, per ESPN's Nick Friedell.
