Pelle Larsson got a full 18 new playing minutes when the Miami Heat won 121–111.
He came off the bench and impressed when Toronto visited.
“He has really been a ray of light. Larsson comes in and affects the game immediately,” writes Miami Heat reporter Brady Hawk on platform X.
Took fans by storm
The 23-year-old accounted for five points and one rebound in the game and afterwards he was praised by several fans.
“The Pelle Larsson effect, wow,” writes one user.
“Every time he gets the chance he has such a positive and immediate impact. Love him,” writes another.
Just a few days ago, he was praised by Miami Heat superstar Jimmy Butler – who was also the top scorer last night with 26 points.
– He probably shoots better than I did at the same time. He can really do everything, he can shoot, he’s good with the ball, he can finish, he can defend, he said then.
The Miami Heat have now won four of the last five games.
