NBA professional basketball team season

The 1990–91 NBA season was the third season of the Miami Heat in the National Basketball Association (NBA).^[1] The Heat received the ninth pick in the 1990 NBA draft, and selected Willie Burton from the University of Minnesota.^[2]^[3] After a semi-promising 5–9 start, the Heat went on a ten-game losing streak, winning just 6 of 24 games in December and January. They lost 13 of their final 17 games finishing last place in the Atlantic Division with a 24–58 record, which was a slight improvement winning six more games than the previous season.^[4]
