If there was one bright side to the loss to the Pistons, it was the Heat star in Herro who scored a whopping 40 points while making 10 shots from deep, along with eight assists, five rebounds, and four steals. While some may say his performance went to waste, he does not have an inch of doubt about his head coach, as shared after the game.

With the game tied at the end of the extra period, Erik Spoelstra called a timeout … even though the Heat didn’t have any.

Miami Heat coach Erik Spoelstra took full accountability for a timeout mistake he made late in the team's NBA Cup Group Play loss vs. the Pistons on Tuesday.
