After a humiliating effort in game three that saw Miami suffer a 37-point loss, All-Star Tyler Herro essentially guaranteed the team would win the next contest. The Heat guard told reporters, “We’re not going down 4-0.”

A Cavaliers veteran sent a key text message to a group thread for the team that reminded them of the job at hand. What followed was a historic win.

In the end, cold, hard realities caught up to the Heat, their season ending with Monday night’s thrashing at the hands of the Cavaliers at Kaseya Center.
