The Miami Heat defeated the Los Angeles Lakers on Friday night in Game 5 of the 2020 NBA Finals.
Many had all but anointed LA as the new champs heading into the outing, so Miami evening up the series was understandably a sweet feeling for many of the team’s supporters.
One such supporter? Tyler Herro’s girlfriend, Katya Elise Henry.
Following the game, she tweeted out a defiant message featuring the one finger salute to all the doubters.
YALL THOUGHT 🖕🏽

Naturally, folks on Twitter responded to her almost immediately. Some referenced her past relationship with Lakers star Kyle Kuzma.
