Under the dimmed lights of the AmericanAirlines Arena, Dwyane Wade and Udonis Haslem took center court to address the Miami Heat and its fanbase.
“We want to thank our fans everywhere for your unwavering support. It’s meant so much over our career, and it’s going to continue to mean a lot to this organization,” Wade said.
Haslem added the requisite, “We are going to go out here and play hard, give you everything we’ve got,” but it wasn’t just talk. What was a 26-point deficit, was eventually erased to one, as the Heat did exactly what Haslem professed and left everything on the court.
