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. 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.
