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]
In his second year, point guard Sherman Douglas led the Heat in scoring with 18.5 points per game. He also led them with 8.5 assists per game.[ 5] Second-year star Glen Rice , and last season's Most Improved Player Rony Seikaly also had solid seasons, and Burton was selected to the NBA All-Rookie Second Team. Following the season, Billy Thompson was released to free agency.
