Heat are the kings of the play.
In a historical achievement, the Heat became the first tenth meter team in the history of the NBA to advance to the first round of the playoffs, defeating the Atlanta Hawks, 123-114, in extra time on Friday night.
This marks the third consecutive appearance for the Heat, which has now made the main raffle of the playoffs each time.
Miami was the seventh seed that entered the play in 2023 before they made an unlikely race to make the NBA finals of 2023.
Last season, they lost in the game number 7 of time for the 76ers, and lost Jimmy Butler for a knee injury, but defeated the Bulls to take the No. 8 seeds, he thought that anyone fell into the first round to the Celtics.
And this time, they get the Bulls for a third consecutive season on Wednesday, which established their appointment with the Hawks in Atlanta on Friday.
Tyler Herro led the way with 30 points, including two crucial triples in extra time, while Bam Adebayo contributed 17 points, 11 rebounds, five assists and five memorable blocked shots.
“I know how bad our group wanted to enter this,” said Heat’s coach Erik Spoelstra, journalists after the game. “I could see him in his eyes and feel it in his heart.”
Davion Mitchell made several key plays on the section and ended the night with 16 points and four treys made.
This victory assured the heat of the eighth seed at the East Conference, establishing a first round confrontation against the best sown cavaliers.
When the Heat won a dominant victory of 109-90 over the Bulls, Herro had 38 points, approximately 24 hours after the former Butler had 38 against Memphis in the Warriors game victory.
In February, the Heat changed Butler to the Warriors in a successful disorder that sent Andrew Wiggins, Kyle Anderson and a first -round protected selection to Miami.
Since the exchange, the Heat has faced challenges, including, at one time, a 10 -game losing streak, but they have won a postseason trip for the sixth consecutive season.
