Ty Jerome delivered a stunning performance in Game 1 against the Miami Heat, scoring 20 of his 28 points in a remarkable stretch. This outburst comes as a surprise, given Jerome's prior anonymity as a bench player. In contrast, his teammate LeBron James has consistently dominated the league. Jerome's success stemmed from exploiting mismatches, particularly targeting Tyler Herro, which was key to Cleveland's offensive strategy. This showcases Jerome's potential, but raises concerns for Miami's defense as Herro was exposed. The stakes are high for the Heat; they must address defensive deficiencies to support Herro as the primary offensive option after the departure of Jimmy Butler.
