Miami Heat look to clinch playoff spot against Atlanta Hawks

The Miami Heat (41-36) are coming off of a disappointing 110-109 Saturday night overtime loss to the Brooklyn Nets, and are now desperately trying to punch their ticket to the NBA playoffs.

In the loss to Brooklyn, the Heat had several opportunities to win the game and clinch a playoff berth; but unfortunately for the Heat, they just couldn’t get the job done, with both of their late rallies in the fourth quarter and in overtime falling short. Goran Dragic and James Johnson both finished with 18 points and Kelly Olynyk and Hassan Whiteside had 16 and 14 points, respectively.
