Tyler Herro was more focused on combat than hoops after the Miami Heat’s preseason win on Tuesday … ’cause his postgame interview came to a screeching halt due to a scrap in the stands!!
The wild moment went down shortly after the home squad secured the 120-117 win over the San Antonio Spurs … and despite the contest not having any real significance, a few spectators decided it was a night worth fighting for.
Found the fight video. Herro wasn’t kidding 😳😳

It’s unclear what led to the brawl … but footage shows three guys throwing a slew of punches in the Kaseya Center seats, with a woman in a row above also getting involved by swinging at the group.
The fight lasted at least 30 seconds before a handful of cops intervened … with one of the guys getting tossed around and taken to the ground. Others were quickly restrained as well.
Herro — who had 14 points in the meaningless contest — had a front-row seat for the whole thing … and he put his postgame Q&A on the back burner to weigh in on the action.

“I’m sorry, I’m distracted by a fight up there,” Herro said after briefly talking about basketball. “This is crazy.”
The interviewer then cut their convo short … saying, “Well, hopefully, that breaks up here soon. We’ll let you go, Tyler. Thank you so much for the time.”
Herro still couldn’t look away, though … keeping his eyes on the incident as he headed toward the locker room.
Hey, who doesn’t love a good fight??
