Q: This one is tough to swallow. The guys played their hearts out. Tyler Herro is becoming that guy and I couldn’t be happier for him.  Great game.  Erik Spoelstra will make no excuses.  This one is on him.  He’ll own it and learn from it and move forward.  Tough one, dang.

General Daily Insight for November 13, 2024 Connections could come with a dose of awkwardness today. During the impulsive Aries Moon’s sextile with buoyant Jupiter, we can muster up the courage to begin conversations with interesting people around us. When Luna conjoins painful Chiron at 9:49 am EST, though, we may realize we’ve wandered into emotional minefields.

Observations and other notes of interest from Tuesday night’s 123-121 overtime loss to the Detroit Pistons: – As hard as it might be, put aside the loss and Erik Spoelstra’s gaffe for a moment. – Jimmy Butler’s team? – Bam Adebayo’s team? – That was then. – Tyler Herro is now. – With Tuesday night in Detroit leaving little doubt. – That contract extension that had been so questioned. – Value contract? – Hard to disagree at the moment. – At the end of Tuesday night’s fourth quarter he simply took over. – Even with the missed shot at the end of regulation. – The points. – The assists. – The completeness of the offensive performance. – Even four steals. – At the moment, he is it. – This was elite. – Even in defeat. – A loss through no fault of his own. – And when Butler comes back, an argument could be made that Herro still should be the focus. – An effort so competitive and so complete. – Even in defeat. – With Butler (ankle) again sidelined, the Heat opened for the second consecutive game with Adebayo, Kevin Love, Haywood Highsmith, Herro and Terry Rozier. – With Tuesday’s start, Adebayo tied Rony Seikaly for fifth on the Heat all-time list for games started. – Spoelstra remained noncommittal about the lineup approach going forward. – “At this point we’re not there yet,” he said of having something concrete.

By TIM REYNOLDS SUNRISE — Timo Meier scored the go-ahead goal late in the second period, Jacob Markstrom made 33 saves and the New Jersey Devils snapped Florida’s seven-game winning streak by beating the Panthers 4-1 on Tuesday night. Jack Hughes scored in the first period for the Devils, Paul Cotter put New Jersey up 3-1 with 15:07 left and Dougie Hamilton and Jesper Bratt each had a pair of assists.

DETROIT — Erik Spoelstra called timeout. He did not have one. His team did not have one. That is how the Miami Heat lost Tuesday night to the Detroit Pistons at Little Caesars Arena. So despite Tyler Herro’s 40 points, despite a fourth-quarter rally, despite a go-ahead basket with 1.8 seconds to play, this 123-121 overtime loss will be remembered for none of that. It will be the game the Heat lost when they first allowed a tying, wide-open dunk with 1.1 seconds to play .
