The Miami Heat<\/a> traveled to Charlotte Friday night in search of their fourth consecutive victory.<\/p>\n

That said, they looked to be underdogs on paper as the Hornets<\/a> had won their last six in a row.<\/p>\n

Not to mention, the Heat were dealing with plenty of injuries, most notably to Norman Powell, Andrew Wiggins and Nikola Jovic.<\/p>\n

However, these injuries didn’t stop the Heat from earning a road victory, as Tyler Herro turned in one of his strongest performances of the season.<\/p>\n

Herro finished with a game-high 33 points on an incredible 8-for-10 shooting from three-point range. He also added nine rebounds, nine assists and one steal without committing any turnovers.<\/p>\n

Bam Adebayo and Jaime Jaquez Jr. also had a huge hand in the win, combining for 45 points.<\/p>\n

Following the game, Herro spoke<\/a> to the media about the win, having prepared to earn a victory on the road.<\/p>\n

\u201cWoke up this AM, got in late last night. Our mindset was to steal one on the road. We know how much this meant to us in the standings. Collective W from top to bottom. We came in and competed.”<\/p>\n

As Herro stated, the win was tremendously important in the Eastern Conference standings.<\/p>\n

After the victory, Miami has a three-game lead over the Hornets for the eighth seed. Had Charlotte won, they’d trail the Heat by just one game.<\/p>\n

With even more momentum now, the Heat will hope to earn their fifth consecutive win Sunday against the conference-leading Detroit Pistons<\/a>.<\/p>\n
