MIAMI (CBSMiami) – The Miami Heat are preparing to open the new season on Wednesday night in Orlando.
Fans in South Florida are extremely excited as the Heat are coming off an amazing run during the second half of last season.
After winning just 11 of their first 41 games, Miami finished the year with a league-best 30-11 record but still missed the playoffs thanks to a tiebreaker.
The Heat may be a playful bunch, but make no mistake they are hungry to get back into the postseason after last year’s near miss.
“I’m just trying to go in and win one game at a time,” said Justise Winslow with a smile.
