Meanwhile, the Atlanta Hawks defeated the Milwaukee Bucks.
MIAMI GUARD TYLER Herro starred as the Heat humbled LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers 134-93 on Wednesday, leaving the Lakers looking for answers after their biggest defeat of the NBA season.
The Heat were already up by 17 at halftime, but Herro erupted in the third quarter, draining seven three-pointers to match the Heat record for most in a period.The Lakers, coming off a 29-point loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves on Monday, looked listless on both ends of the floor. There were encouraging signs for James, who came in mired in a shooting slump and scored a team-high 29 points on efficient 12 of 18 shooting.
But a frustrated James said it wasn’t a matter of the game plan. “If you don’t want to come to compete … that’s other issues,” he said. Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo scored 31 points and teammate Damian Lillard added 25, but Milwaukee couldn’t build on an early 10-point advantage.The NBA champion Boston Celtics shrugged off the absence of superstar Jayson Tatum, leading by as many as 20 points in a 130-120 victory over the Detroit Pistons.
Kristaps Porzingis, still getting back to form after returning from ankle surgery in November, scored 26 points, grabbed nine rebounds and blocked two shots for Boston.
