The 1999–2000 NBA season was the 12th season for the Miami Heat in the National Basketball Association.[1] During the offseason, the Heat signed free agents Otis Thorpe and undrafted rookie Anthony Carter. The Heat played the first two months of the season at the Miami Arena. They played their final home game at the Miami Arena on December 28, 1999 against the Minnesota Timberwolves, and then moved into the American Airlines Arena on January 2, 2000 against the Orlando Magic. The Heat got off to a 15–4 start, then later on holding a 30–17 record at the All-Star break. However, Tim Hardaway played just 52 games due to knee injuries, and Voshon Lenard was out for the remainder of the season with a lower abdominal strain after 53 games. At midseason, the team signed free agent Bruce Bowen. The Heat went on a 7-game winning streak between March and April, and finished first place in the Atlantic Division with a 52–30 record. Alonzo Mourning averaged 21.7 points, 9.5 rebounds and 3.7 blocks per game, and was named Defensive Player of the Year for the second consecutive year. He was also named to the All-NBA Second Team, and to the NBA All-Defensive First Team, and was selected for the 2000 NBA All-Star Game.
In the Eastern Conference First Round of the playoffs, the Heat swept the Detroit Pistons in three straight games en route to advancing to the second round for the first time since 1997. In the Eastern Conference Semifinals, they faced the New York Knicks for the fourth consecutive year. After taking a 3–2 series lead, the Heat would lose the final two games to the 3rd-seeded Knicks, including an 83–82 loss in Game 7 at Miami.[2] Following the season, Jamal Mashburn and P.J. Brown were both traded along with Thrope to the Charlotte Hornets, Voshon Lenard and Mark Strickland were both traded to the Denver Nuggets, and Clarence Weatherspoon was dealt to the Cleveland Cavaliers.
For the season, the Heat changed their logo and uniforms. The uniforms lasted until 2009 where they switched the logo to the other leg of the shorts, while the primary logo is still present as of 2021.
