Until tonight (Wednesday-Thursday) Tyler Hiro was a relatively anonymous player among basketball fans, but his formidable performance in Game 4 against Boston left no room for doubt: the 20-year-old rookie was destined for greatness.
The young shooting guard sniped 37 points in 36 minutes including 17 points in the final quarter, sweeping Miami to a 109-112 victory over Boston that left the Heat a lone winning streak from qualifying for the NBA Finals for the first time since 2014.
Hiro became the youngest player in NBA history to score More than 30 points off the bench in a playoff game, and in addition he made an exclusive list: his 37 points are the highest number of points scored by a 20-year-old in the playoffs since Magic Johnson sniped 42 points in the 1980 playoffs.
"That's who I am. I'm still playing in the NBA, "Hiro explained of the confidence and fearlessness he displayed on the big stage.
"I put a lot of effort into displaying such ability, and all the credit goes to the team and my friends who helped me."

Hiro, who was selected as the 13th pick in the last draft, came into the league as a relatively unknown player, even for college mice.
But his improvement curve is impressive, and he continues to learn day by day.
Hiro, wandering around in a bubble with a notebook in which he takes notes for himself after each game, just looks like a student.
In practice, he already belongs entirely to the major leagues.
"This notebook helps me focus on the things I want to improve. It's a good way to keep track of the process I'm going through," he said.
After tonight's win, his teammates are already taking credit for picking the hit on him in the draft.
"I'm the one who nods to Pat Riley to choose him," Adbayo boasted to them at the end, "nothing he does surprises me."
Goran Dragic, who has become Hiro's mentor, praised: "I'm in shock. This kid is incredible. He's not afraid of the moment, and gives plays in big games not for the first time. We know he's a player all season, you can't miss that he's a tremendous talent."
Eric Spolstra also understands that Hiro is an asset - not only thanks to the deadly hand out of the three, but also, perhaps most importantly, thanks to his special character.
"He has a combination of competitiveness and modesty. On the one hand, he has self-confidence in quantities, he is a very unusual lack of fear. But on the other hand he is modest enough to work, to listen to the coach, to be attentive to the veteran players. .

On the other hand, Brad Stevens also complimented the game's hero.
"His ability made the difference today," the Boston coach said.
"Ridiculous how good he was. Apparently the ring looked like an ocean to him, he couldn't miss it."
The Celtics understand that tonight's loss could be doomed.
History does not leave too much room for doubt: teams that previously led 1: 3 in a regional final, stand on a balance of 4:50 in the next game.
"I take responsibility for that loss. I didn't play like I expected of myself in the first half," said Jason Taitum who went down to the break with just 0 points and six shots from the field.
"I didn't score in the first half, and that's unacceptable. I know I have to be better, I owe it to the team and to myself."
The black half cost dearly.

Kamba Walker found the bright spot: the Celtics' last-minute comeback, which was almost complete.
"At the end of the day they found a way to get back in the game. We did everything we could."
Despite this, Walker believes that "we are able to win this series. It's a matter of pride. It's a matter of will. In the next game we need to get on the field and show it."
