2009–10 Miami Heat season
NBA professional basketball team season
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 2009–10 Miami Heat season was the 22nd season of the franchise in the National Basketball Association (NBA). The Heat made the playoffs for the second straight year under Erik Spoelstra. They failed to make it out of the first round once again as they were overpowered by a Boston Celtics squad that featured Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce, and Ray Allen in five games. Boston eventually lost in seven games to the Los Angeles Lakers in the NBA Finals. Following the season, the Heat would acquire LeBron James and Chris Bosh to join Dwyane Wade and create a Big Three that lasted until 2014.
