So far this postseason, the Miami Heat's 2024 playoff drive is looking a lot like their 2023 run.
Last season, the Heat lost their first game in the NBA play-in tournament, but recovered in their second game to make the playoffs as a No. 8 seed.
To begin this year's postseason, Miami lost its first play-in matchup to the Philadelphia 76ers. But with a second chance to earn the No. 8 seed in the Eastern Conference playoffs, the Heat defeated the Chicago Bulls on Friday night, 112-91, to advance to a first-round series against the top-seeded Boston Celtics.
