The Miami Heat is on the verge of making NBA history by potentially becoming the first 10th-place team in any conference to qualify for the playoffs through the play-in tournament format introduced in 2020-21. After defeating the Chicago Bulls 109-90 in an elimination game, the Heat faces the Atlanta Hawks, with the winner securing the East's No. 8 playoff seed. Coach Erik Spoelstra and player Tyler Herro emphasize the importance of maintaining focus and winning two consecutive games to accomplish their goal.

The job is not finished, obviously. We knew what our path was.
