After making play-in history, they must come in hot against top-seeded Cavaliers

CLEVELAND - Fifteen years after LeBron James left north-east Ohio to take his talents to South Beach, the Cleveland Cavaliers and Miami Heat meet in the National Basketball Association (NBA) playoffs for the first time.

Miami locked up their berth with a 123-114 road victory over the Atlanta Hawks on April 18, becoming the first initial 10th seed to qualify through the play-in tournament. They also tied a franchise record with their sixth straight playoff appearance.

Miami's next challenge is much tougher. The eighth-seeded Heat must knock off the top-seeded Cavaliers in the best-of-seven Eastern Conference first-round series. Game 1 is on April 20 (April 21, Singapore time) in Cleveland.
