The Miami Heat secured their playoff spot after a grueling season marked by challenges including the Jimmy Butler trade drama and numerous blown leads. Overcoming these hardships, the Heat achieved a significant victory in the play-in tournament by defeating both the Bulls and Hawks, making history as the first 10th-place team to qualify for the playoffs. Coach Erik Spoelstra praised the team's ability to embrace adversity and highlighted key performances from players like Tyler Herro and Davion Mitchell. With their eyes now set on the top-seeded Cavaliers, the Heat look to continue their momentum into the playoffs.
We've been through as much as a team probably can go through, and I really commend the team for finding a way to embrace the adversity.
What makes qualifying for the playoffs through the play-in tournament as the 10th-place team so hard is it requires two consecutive road wins.
