Since Adebayo, Butler, Herro and Robinson became teammates during the 2019 offseason, the Heat has recorded the seventh-most regular-season wins (227) in the NBA during their first five seasons together. This Heat core has also racked up the second-most playoff wins (39) in the league during that time behind only the Boston Celtics. Among the four teams that have recorded the most playoff wins since the start of the 2019-20 season, the Heat is the only one that has not won a championship during that span. The others in that group that have won NBA titles during this stretch are the Celtics, Nuggets and Milwaukee Bucks. “It just shows that we’ve done a lot throughout our first five years,” Adebayo said. “But I feel like we still got another level. Because every year, we all come back better. This year just feels different. The energy feels different, and not just for us as a team. But the arena, the staff, the energy just feels different.”
