Heat Rout Hawks in Regular-Season Finale, on to Charlotte for Play-in ...

Young signed a standard contract as Miami added depth before the play-in tournament, with the Heat 42-39 and locked into the East’s No. 10 seed.

  • Entering the Play-In Tournament for the fourth consecutive year, head coach Erik Spoelstra described the path as "harrowing" after Miami won only four of their last 14 games.
  • Before the game, the Heat signed two-way guard Jahmir Young to a new two-year contract while Jaime Jaquez Jr. scored 26 points off the bench, with Bam Adebayo and Norman Powell each adding 25.
  • Atlanta prioritized rest during the finale, sitting key players including CJ McCollum and Dyson Daniels as Hawks coach Quin Snyder noted the focus was "going into the postseason healthy."
  • Miami must win two consecutive play-in games to qualify for the playoffs as the No. 8 seed, while the Hawks await a first-round opponent: either the New York Knicks or Cleveland Cavaliers.
