Miami's Tyler Herro is known for his offense, but on Friday he defended himself after taking a shot from Cleveland Cavaliers guard Darius Garland.

On Wednesday night, after the Cavs went up 2-0 against the Heat, Garland said one key to the team's success so far in the first-round series has been to go at Herro on the defensive end.

"Pick on Tyler Herro and take care of the ball," Garland said after Wednesday's 121-112 win. "Don't play in tight spaces and pick on their weak defenders."

Herro got his chance to respond Friday.
