The Miami Heat have been eliminated from the 2025 NBA playoffs after losing by 55 points to the Cleveland Cavaliers.

After a shaky end to the regular season that saw the Heat go on both a 10-game losing streak and a seven-game winning streak, Miami were able to hold onto the 10th seed and a Play-In spot.

After fighting through the Play-In tournament, the Heat clinched the eighth seed to reach their sixth consecutive postseason, writes Florida News Blitz’s Oliver Carter.
