NBA professional basketball team season
The 2017–18 Miami Heat season was the 30th season of the franchise in the National Basketball Association (NBA).
On the February 8, 2018 NBA trade deadline, the Heat re-acquired star shooting guard Dwyane Wade from the Cleveland Cavaliers in exchange for a future second-round draft pick, after losing him to free agency in July 2016.
Despite a loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder on April 9, 2018, the Heat clinched a playoff berth for the eighth time in ten seasons. Furthermore, they won their division on April 11 as a result of an overtime win over the Toronto Raptors, as well as a loss by the Washington Wizards to the Orlando Magic. The Heat finished the regular season with a 44–38 record, which clinched the 6th seed in the Eastern Conference playoffs. This made the Heat the lowest-seeded playoff team to win a division championship since the NBA modified playoff seeding in 2016.
In the playoffs, they faced the 3rd seed Philadelphia 76ers in the first round and were defeated in 5 games.
