Though Miami has struggled like the rest of the late-1980s expansion teams, the Heat became the first of that group to reach the NBA Playoffs with a 1992 berth. Another proud moment in franchise history came at the 1993 NBA All-Star Weekend when rookie guard Harold Miner emerged as the NBA Slam-Dunk Champion. DID YOU KNOW? The Heat had never beaten the Los Angeles Lakers - and the Lakers had never lost to a recent expansion team at the Forum - before Miami ended both streaks by sweeping the 1992-93 series 2-0. With an average age of 25.24 years in 1992-93, Miami is the youngest team in the NBA. SCORECARD. The most enigmatic game in team history came January 20, 1993, when after a season-high 70 first-half points, the Heat were held to a franchise low seven third-quarter points.
