Heat vs Bucks: TylerTuesday trends as Miami make it 4-1 with Herro's heroics, Bucks fans say 'team got cooked'
It was #TYLERTUESDAY that trended on Twitter after Miami guard Tyler Herro showed some scintillating gameplay that saw the Heat take lead against the Milwaukee Bucks in Game 5. At the time of writing, the scoreboard had Miami ahead 103-95 in the fourth quarter. A win here means the Bucks will be sent packing. Most fans on Twitter showered lavish praise on Tyler while the Bucks fans lamented on the team's play.
"WE’RE SO CLOSE TO THE EASTERN CONFERENCE FINALS," wrote one of the Miami fans. Tyler had chipped in with 14 Pts | 7 Rebs | 5 Asts | 1 Stl. The heat came into the series as the underdogs, but they stunned the world by putting on a show no one saw coming.
"We are about to close out the series boys let’s go!!! " another fan seconded.

AP Sports writer Tim Reynolds reckoned: "Tyler Herro could be 5:19 away from becoming the first human being born in the 2000s to reach the NBA conference finals."

Meanwhile, Giannis Antetokounmpo was a constant topic of discussion as well. For starters, he missed Game 5 for the Bucks following a sprained right ankle. "The Bucks had an all-time great regular season and it sucks that it ended in this disgrace + injury to Giannis," a tweet read.
