Miami Heat's 24+ Winning Streak (Best Ever?)

As of March 21, 2013, the Miami Heat are changing history. Miami is on a 24 game winning streak, only trailing behind the Lakers' record set in 1972 of 33 games won. Miami extended their winning streak after a close victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers yesterday night. The Heat, led by superstar Lebron James, came back from a 27 point deficit to ultimately win the game. In this post, I want to address whether or not the Miami Heat will beat the Lakers' record and what this streak means to them. Although many people think this 27 point deficit is a sign that the Heat cannot continue their streak, it is entirely possible that the Miami Heat will continue their winning streak and possibly surpass the Lakers in history. The 27 point deficit shows just how amazing they really are and how determined they are to win. If anything, their comeback has made them even more intimidating to the rest of the NBA which brings me to my conclusion that this streak is a great thing for Miami. I personally do not think the Miami Heat will surpass the Lakers' record but I will admit that it is entirely possible. Their games up ahead are against teams with poor records and the only two teams in the remainder of the season that they really need to look out for are the Chicago Bulls and the San Antonio Spurs. With that being said, the Miami Heat are truly a force to be reckoned with right now and it seems as though no team is able to stop them. This streak is definitely a positive goal for the defending champions. After already winning the championship last year, they want a new challenge and this winning streak is a great goal to try and achieve. Regardless of whether or not the Miami Heat win more than 33 games, it is evident that they have the greatest chance of winning this year's championship.
