Each player, based upon availability, graciously provides several private Meet & Greet opportunities for the groups prior to each HEAT home game, where the players give inspiring talks to the children, sign autographs and take pictures with the group. The participating organizations also attend a private viewing of the team warm-ups. Over the course of the season, the children, many for the first time, will have the opportunity to enjoy a HEAT game, courtesy of their favorite HEAT players and role models. 2017-18 OFFENSIVE LEADERS THIS TABLE INCLUDES TIES PLAYER 10+ PTS 20+ PTS 30+ PTS 40+ PTS 10+ REB 15+ REB 10+ AST DOUBLE- DOUBLE TRIPLE- DOUBLE INACTIVE LIST Bam Adebayo 5 1 1 2 3 Goran Dragić 21 12 11 2 12 3 Wayne Ellington 10 4 4 3 A.J.

2017-18 HEAD COACH ERIK SPOELSTRA (Portland) Regular Season Coaching Record: 454-296, currently in 10th Season Erik Spoelstra enters his 10th season as head coach of the HEAT and his 23rd as a member of the organization. He was elevated to his current position on April 28, 2008. Spoelstra has rewarded the faith that HEAT President Pat Riley showed in him by garnering seven postseason appearances, five division titles, four conference championships and guiding the franchise to back-to-back NBA titles in 2012 and 2013. Under his leadership, Miami entered this season with the third-highest regular season winning percentage (.609) in the NBA over that span. In his previous nine seasons at the helm, Spoelstra has already made his mark on the HEAT record book. He currently holds the postseason franchise records in victories (70), winning percentage (.619), series won (15) and postseason games coached (113) on Miami s all-time list. In regular season play, he entered this season ranked first in winning percentage (.609) on Miami s all-time list and second in victories (440) and games coached (722). Since replacing Riley on the HEAT bench, he has remained a steadying influence for his team and its paid huge dividends in return. Despite starting last season with multiple injuries leading to a 11-30 record, Spoelstra kept the team together as he led them to a 30-11 second half record, finishing the season 41-41 (.500) to become the first team in NBA history to have been at least 19 games under.500 and reach the.500 mark at any point that same season. Miami rallied to finish tied for the eighth and final playoff spot, but lost out on postseason play due to a tiebreaker. Additionally, Spoelstra was named the 2016-17 Co-Coach of the Year by the National Basketball Coaches Association and was selected as the Eastern Conference Coach of the Month for February, marking the seventh time he has earned the monthly honor, the most in team history. When Spoelstra first took over the head coaching duties in 2008 he was given the task of improving a young team that had been ravaged by injuries the previous season and had won just 15 games. Two years later, after the summer of 2010 in which Miami re-signed Dwyane Wade and acquired All-Stars LeBron James and Chris Bosh, he found himself coaching a highly-talented, veteran group that was the most scrutinized team in the NBA. Spoelstra and his team have proven they were up for the challenge as he guided them to consecutive NBA Championships, four-straight Conference Championships and four consecutive NBA Finals appearances, becoming just the third franchise in NBA history to make four consecutive NBA Finals appearances, joining the Celtics and Lakers. It also made them just one of 10 franchises in the four major North American sports leagues to make four consecutive trips to the league championship. Individually, Spoelstra became just the fourth head coach in NBA history to lead his team to four-straight Finals appearances joining Red Auerbach, K.C. Jones and Pat Riley. Spoelstra joined a very elite fraternity when he led the HEAT to a seven-game series win over the San Antonio Spurs in the 2013 NBA Finals. Upon capturing the 2013 NBA Championship he became one of just 13 head coaches in NBA history to have won multiple championships and only the eighth to win a championship in consecutive seasons. The 2012 championship culminated a compressed 2011-12 season in which Miami went 46-20 and captured its second consecutive Southeast Division title. The regular season was highlighted by a nine-game win streak (Feb. 10-Mar. 1) with each victory a double-digit win. During that streak the HEAT became the first team to win road games on three consecutive nights (Feb. 12-14) since December of 1979 and the first to win each of those contests by double-digits since the 1970-71 season. Before taking over as the sixth head coach in HEAT history, Spoelstra had served Miami in a number of roles in his first 13 years. He was originally hired as video coordinator and over the years was promoted to assistant coach/video coordinator, assistant coach/advance scout and assistant coach/director of scouting, a title he held during Miami s 2006 NBA Championship, before ascending to head coach. He made a name for himself around the league with his game preparation and superb attention to detail. In his seven seasons as the HEAT s assistant coach/director of scouting, he had the primary role of developing game plans for upcoming opponents. To that end, he coordinated the video staff and advance scouts while overseeing the development of scouting reports and videos. In 1992, he graduated from the University of Portland with a degree in communications. While attending Portland, Spoelstra was the starting point guard for four years and was named the West Coast Conference Freshman of the Year in 1989. Upon graduating he spent two years as a player/coach for Tus Herten, a team in the professional sports league of Germany. He has returned to his native Philippines in four of the last five offseasons to host clinics and promote education, health and wellness to thousands of at-risk youth through grassroots programs and events. The 9-day program in Manila in the summer of 2011 was the largest NBA FIT event ever hosted in Southeast Asia under the NBA Cares umbrella. In the summer of 2012, Coach Spoelstra expanded his reach into other Southeast Asia nations by conducting coaches clinics and other FIT activities in Singapore. Raised in Portland, OR, Spoelstra, who was inducted into the Jesuit High School Athletic Hall of Fame in September 2009, is the first Asian/FilipinoAmerican head coach in any of the major North American sports leagues. Spoelstra is the son of Jon Spoelstra, a long-time NBA executive who has guided the Portland Trail Blazers, Denver Nuggets, Buffalo Braves and New Jersey Nets. His grandfather, Watson, was a Detroit Tigers beat writer for many years. He and his wife, Nikki, reside in Coconut Grove. 2017-18 MIAMI HEAT GAME NOTES PAGE 10
