"We're disappointed, for sure, that we weren't able to bring another level of competitive spirit to this. That's what's disappointing. We're not thinking about the next step right now."
"If there is any good news for the Heat, it's that Miami has always survived the play-in and wound up grabbing the No. 8 playoff spot."
"We have a spirit. Our guys bounce back."
The Miami Heat's recent loss to the Toronto Raptors confirmed their inability to secure a top-six finish in the Eastern Conference, forcing them into the play-in tournament for the fourth straight year. Despite disappointment expressed by players and coaches, the Heat have historically succeeded in the play-in, securing the No. 8 playoff spot each time. They have struggled against other playoff-bound teams this season, but remain optimistic about their resilience and ability to bounce back.
