The 'Road Warriors' 96-97 HEAT were known for their league-best lockdown defense (100.6 DEF RTG), a blistering 32-9 road record, and of course...
Their Eastern Conference Semi-Finals showdown with the New York Knicks.
This was the first time the two teams would meet in the NBA Playoffs, and it would lay the foundation for decades of HEAT vs. Knicks matchups as the series that sparked as heated a rivalry as you'll find in the NBA.
A series that, at one point, saw Miami with their backs against the wall down 3-1, ended with a resounding 101-90 Game 7 win in the Miami Arena thanks to an incredible performance by Tim Hardaway.
Hardaway led all scorers with a playoff career-high 38 points (6-10 3PT) to go with seven assists, five steals and three rebounds.
