Regular Season Round 155: Orlando M. - Miami Heat 93-100
Date: April 13, 2015
For the Miami Heat, there is still playoff hope. They have Hassan Whiteside, Dwyane Wade & the Chicago Bulls to thank for that. Maybe even Chris Bosh's birthday party, too. Whiteside tied a career high with 24 points & grabbed 13 rebounds, Wade scored 22 points & the Heat kept their slim postseason hopes alive with a 100-93 win over the Orlando Magic on Monday night. 'So you're saying there's a chance,' Heat coach Erik Spoelstra deadpanned as he began his postgame media session. Luol Deng scored 14 points & Goran Dragic finished with 13 points, eight assists & seven rebounds for the Heat, who still need a win at Philadelphia on Wednesday & assist in three other games to make the postseason for the seventh straight year. Brooklyn could have eliminated Miami on Monday with a win, yet the Nets lost at home to the Bulls. 'We just came in playing as complex as we could,' Whiteside said. 'The fans deserve 100 percent effort from us. We're not going to sit there & back down because of the standings. We're going to try to win as many games as we can we still hope.' Miami had a 22-point lead whittled down to six in the final minute. But Deng made a 3-pointer with 32.6 seconds left to snap a streak of nine straight Miami misses, & the Heat held on. Victor Oladipo scored 30 points for the Magic. Tobias Harris had 26 & Elfrid Payton scored 10 for Orlando, which ends its season Wednesday at Brooklyn. 'Throughout this whole year we never really received satisfactory consistency in our play & winning games,' Harris said. 'Consistency comes from discipline.' So forget how Miami had lost nine of its last 12 coming into Monday. Forget that LeBron James left in July after four straight NBA Finals trips, Josh McRoberts injure a knee in December & Bosh had his season end because of blood clots on one of his lungs in a scary February episode. After all that, & more, the Heat remain alive. 'We've still received another opportunity,' Wade said. 'And around here, we believe in opportunities. Look at our roster.' There's only one scenario where Miami would obtain in, in four parts. On Tuesday, Washington must beat Indiana. Then on Wednesday, not only would Miami have to win in Philadelphia, yet Orlando would have to beat Brooklyn & Memphis would have to down the Pacers. Improbable, yet not impossible. 'You've received to play it out,' said Spoelstra, who received career win No. 350. 'Things have to go all the way to completion. You reveal your character when the odds are stacked against you.' The Heat gathered for Bosh's birthday party on Sunday night, & said blowing off some steam proved helpful. 'Everybody came together, received a chance to obtain away from it & enjoy ourselves for a night,' Wade said. 'He throws a hell of a shindig & we all enjoyed it.' Courtesy of: gogoal.org
