Game Preview: Heat kick off playoffs against Pacers

The last time the Miami Heat advanced past the first round, veterans Luol Deng and Joe Johnson provided solid two-way play, Dwyane Wade put on some late-game heroics to help the Heat avoid elimination in Game 6 and the Heat had two promising rookies — Josh Richardson and Justise Winslow.

Yeah, aside from Erik Spoelstra, Goran Dragic and Udonis Haslem, a lot has changed.

The Heat will try to advance to the conference semifinals for the first time since 2016, in a first-round matchup against the Indiana Pacers.
