The Miami Heat have become the first No. 10 seed to reach the playoffs since the play-in format began in the 2020-21 season. They clinched their spot with a 123-114 overtime victory against the Atlanta Hawks. Tyler Herro led the Heat with 30 points, including two crucial 3-pointers in overtime. Davion Mitchell, despite a slow start, contributed significantly in the fourth quarter and overtime, scoring three 3-pointers and matching his career high for any quarter. Together, Herro and Mitchell were responsible for 31 points in the final stages of the game. Herro also joined Stephen Curry as the only players to score multiple 30-point games in a single play-in tournament season. The Heat’s playoff appearance marks their sixth consecutive season in the playoffs, tying their franchise record. They will face the No. 1 seed Cleveland in the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
