Miami Heat's Tyler Herro: "This Locker Room Doesn't Want To Be In The Play-In"

So much was going right the Miami Heat on Thursday night.

Both the New York Knicks and Brooklyn Nets lost, helping the Heat gain ground in playoff position. The Heat trailed the Knicks 1.5 games for the No. 5 seed and surpassed the Nets for the No. 6 spot.

And then Saturday night happened.

All of that momentum was squashed with a 29-point loss to the Nets, pushing the Heat back into the seventh seed. Now, they have just seven games to avoid participating in the play-in tournament, which is the goal.

"This locker room doesn't want to be in the play-in," Herro said. "Obviously, not on our radar. We want to be in the top six and we feel like we have a great opportunity. It's not even about opportunity any more. We are in the position to do what we want to do. At this point, we've got to do it."
