After defeating the Minnesota Timberwolves last night, the Miami Heat found themselves a game behind the fourth-place New York Knicks and a game ahead of the seventh-place Boston Celtics.
The Miami Heat are now:
1.0 game back from 4th
0.5 game back from 5th
1.0 game ahead of 7th— (@HeatvsHaters) May 8, 2021With just five games left in the season, Miami’s next two games at the Celtics represent a crucial make-or-break moment for this team. Win both and the Heat have a good chance at securing the fourth or fifth seed — crucial for avoiding top three seeds in the East, Philadelphia, Brooklyn and Milwaukee.
