| < 1997–98 | 1999–00 > |
The 1998-99 Miami Heat season is the 11th season of the Miami Heat in the National Basketball Association (NBA).
During the shortened NBA season, Miami finished with a 33-17 win-loss record, which earned them the Number 1 seed in the Western Conference. But, despite the great year, the New York Knicks, the Number 8 seed, defeated the Miami Heat in the Eastern Conference First round, the first time the Number 8 seed has knocked off the Number 1 seed in NBA history, with Allan Houston of New York hit a buzzer beater basket in the winner-take all Game 5, which prevailed the Knicks over Miami, 77-76.
