NBA professional basketball team season
The
2020β21
Miami Heat season was the 33rd season of the franchise in the
National Basketball Association (NBA).
The Heat entered the season as both the defending
Southeast Division and
Eastern Conference champions. The season began just 72 days after the completion of the
2020 Finals , giving the Heat and the
Los Angeles Lakers the shortest off-season in league history.
[1] With a win over the
Boston Celtics 129β121, the Heat returned to the
playoffs for the second straight year on May 11. They attempted to make back-to-back
NBA Finals appearances for the first time since
2013 and
2014 , but fell to the eventual champion
Milwaukee Bucks in the first round in a four-game sweep in a rematch of last season's Conference semifinals in which the Heat won in five games. This is the first time that the Heat were swept in the playoffs since
2007 which was also in the first round against the
Chicago Bulls . It was also the first time since 2014 that
Andre Iguodala missed the NBA Finals. Iguodala would return to the
Golden State Warriors the following season after two seasons with the Heat.
