They then sprung a huge upset in the first round as they dumped out number one seeds Milwaukee in five games.
Miami won twice in Milwaukee during that series and started their conference semi-final with a 108-101 win in New York.
The Heat then split the next four games, sandwiching two home wins with a couple of road defeats, before clinching the series with a 96-92 home win in Game 6.

Boston have been made to work for their place in the Eastern Conference Finals by Atlanta and Philadelphia.
The Celtics marched into the postseason, but found Atlanta a stubborn opponent as they finally won the series 4-2.
They then fell behind in the semi-final series with Philadelphia, suffering a surprise 119-115 defeat at home.
Boston bounced back to take the next two games, but found themselves on the brink of elimination when they lost Games 4 and 5.
The Celtics showed their resolve though, following up a 95-86 victory on the road with a 112-88 home win in the winner-takes-all Game 7 clash.
