, in a fierce battle in the Eastern Conference playoffs, the Miami Heat relied on their strong performance in overtime to beat the Atlanta Hawks 123-114 away and won a precious playoff ticket. After the game, Heat guard Tyler Herro spoke affectionately about the team's performance and spiritual core this season during an interview on the sidelines.

" We've had a lot of ups and downs this season, and it's not perfect, " Herro said. " But it's these imperfections that fully reflect the culture of the Heat. The way we keep fighting, don't back down in the face of difficulties, and continue to respond to challenges is a true portrayal of this team. We never gave up, but kept improving. "

In this game, Herro showed his core player's responsibility. He played a team-high 44 minutes, made 10 of 21 shots , 5 of 10 from beyond the three-point line , and 5 of 6 free throws , handing over comprehensive data of 30 points, 8 rebounds and 7 assists. He stood up for the team many times at critical moments, helping the Heat stabilize their position in overtime and win the victory.

The Heat's performance this season has indeed fluctuated a lot. They were once plagued by injuries and tactical adjustments, and their offense seemed inconsistent in some games. But as Herro said, the team has never lost itself, but has adhered to the " Heat culture " with resilience, defense and teamwork as the core . Whether it is Butler, Adebayo, or young core players like Herro and Martin, every player is interpreting the belief of " fighting to the end " with practical actions .

It is worth mentioning that the Heat have been active in the Eastern Conference for many years with extremely high competitive intensity. Even through the play-in game, they have proved time and again that they should not be underestimated. Herro's speech is not only a summary of this victory, but also sets the tone for the upcoming playoffs.

Now that the Heat have taken the first step and successfully made it to the playoffs, they will face stronger opponents and more brutal challenges. But no matter what the result is, the core spirit of this team has long been engraved in the blood of every player. As Herro said: " This is the Heat culture. "
