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.

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.
