Tyler Herro sneered. Sneered? Yeah, sneered. Or snarled. Or something.
“He did that thing with his lip,” Miami Heat teammate Jimmy Butler said Sunday night.
Herro is 20, looks 16 and “that thing with his lip” couldn’t intimidate a 5-year-old. It didn’t matter. It was the thought, coming off a game-clinching layup (and one) that counted.
Just moments earlier, Butler had just scored two of his 40 points on the night and told LeBron James, “You’re in trouble” — which was a repeat of what James had told Butler in the first half, back when Los Angeles thought it might sweep this thing.
