The Heat, having won 36 of 38, will also be looking to pick up even more momentum heading into the postseason, though Wednesday's lineup may not exactly resemble the one that will be competing for a second straight NBA title.
LeBron James missed Wednesday morning's shootaround to tend to a personal matter and is not expected to play.
James (hamstring), Dwyane Wade (knee), Shane Battier (knee) and Udonis Haslem (ankle) are all listed on the team's injury report, and none played Monday at Cleveland. Mario Chalmers and Chris Bosh also sat out. None of the injuries are believed to be serious, with most just getting an extra breather before the playoffs per coach Erik Spoelstra's request.
It still didn't keep Miami from claiming a 96-95 win over the Cavaliers. Norris Cole turned in 16 points, 11 rebounds and nine assists and stripped the ball from Kyrie Irving with two seconds left to preserve the victory.
"Everybody had a hand in this win," Spoelstra said. "That's what we wanted to do. We're here. We might as well compete, and made the most of it."
At 65-16, Miami has already clinched the best record in franchise history, surpassing the previous mark of 61-21 in 1996-97.
"Sixty-five is a big number," Spoelstra said. "I've been part of championship teams and teams that had great success in this league that have never been able to win this many games."
