The HEAT are 27-41 all-time versus the Trail Blazers during the regular season, including 12-21 in home games and 15-20 in road games.

With a win tonight, Miami will sweep the series against the Trail Blazers for the second consecutive season and for the eighth time overall.

Miami shot a perfect 26-of-26 from the free throw line on 11/4 at IND, the second most made without a miss in franchise history. Only the 30-of-30 game on 3/24/93 at BOS is more.
