Miami Heat

Podcast: Breaking down the Heat’s latest loss and where things stand in playoff race

The play-in tournament is becoming a very real possibility for the Miami Heat.

The Heat dropped its third straight game in a 101-92 loss to the New York Knicks on Wednesday night at Madison Square Garden to sink deeper into play-in tournament territory.

David Wilson and Anthony Chiang, the Miami Herald’s Heat beat writer, offered up their instant reactions to the Heat’s latest setback and whether there’s any way the play-in tournament can still be avoided with five regular-season games left to play.

How did the Heat get here and what are the most concerning aspects of the team’s recent play? Chiang and Wilson discussed that and more before celebrating the success of the Miami Hurricanes and Florida Atlantic Owls men’s basketball teams.
