The 1995-96 Miami Heat season was Miami’s 8th season in the NBA. Under Pat Riley, the Heat would be restructured. The franchise acquired Alonzo Mourning, Pete Myers, and LeRon Ellis from the Charlotte Hornets on the day before the start of the season for Glen Rice, Matt Geiger and Khalid Reeves. [1] Mourning would have an immediate impact as the Heat won 11 of their first 14 games. Over the next 2 months, the Heat would struggle as they would win only 9 of their next 32 games. [2] Pat Riley would continue make changes. At the trading deadline, Riley would make three more deals. The club would acquire Tim Hardaway, Chris Gatling, Walt Williams, Tyrone Corbin and Tony Smith.
