2013–14 Miami Heat season

The 2013–14 Miami Heat season was the franchise's 26th season in the National Basketball Association (NBA). They entered the season as three-time defending Eastern Conference champions and as two-time defending NBA champions, having defeated the Oklahoma City Thunder in the 2012 NBA Finals and the San Antonio Spurs in the 2013 NBA Finals in seven games. In defeating the Spurs in 2013, the Heat handed the Spurs their first-ever series loss in the NBA Finals. The 2013-2014 season was the Heat's fourth and final season playing with the "Big Three" of Dwyane Wade, LeBron James, and Chris Bosh and their sixth season under head coach Erik Spoelstra. It was also Ray Allen's last season in the NBA, after 18 years in the league. Although he was a free agent during the 2014-15 and 2015-16 seasons, Allen officially announced his retirement on November 1, 2016, and was one of two remaining active players from the 1996 Draft, the other being Kobe Bryant, whom announced his retirement the season prior.

In a rematch of the previous year's Eastern Conference Finals, the Heat defeated the Indiana Pacers in six games to become the first team to win four consecutive Eastern Conference championships since the Boston Celtics did so in the 1984-1987 seasons. Miami's quest for a three-peat ended when the San Antonio Spurs, whom they met in a rematch of the 2013 NBA Finals, won the NBA Finals by a 4-1 margin.

Following the season, LeBron James left the Heat in free agency to rejoin the Cleveland Cavaliers, whom he previously played for from 2003-2010.
