It’s more clear than ever: The Miami Heat is definitely not going to tank the last few months of the season.
After losing six of seven heading into the weekend, the Heat bounced back to win three of its last four, including a thrilling win against the Golden State Warriors on a buzzer-beater by Dwyane Wade. The recent turnaround has Miami in an effective tie for the No. 8 seed in the Eastern Conference with 19 to play. The Heat (29-34) is fully in position for a playoff push.
On the latest episode of the Heat Check podcast, David Wilson and Anthony Chiang, the Miami Herald’s Heat beat writer, discuss why this makes sense even with an upcoming NBA Draft featuring superstar Duke Blue Devils power forward Zion Williamson.
