The 1990–91 Miami Heat season was the 3rd season of the Miami Heat in the National Basketball Association (NBA). After a semi-promising 5–9 start, the Heat went on a ten-game losing streak, winning just 6 of 24 games in December and January. They lost 13 of their final 17 games finishing last place in the Atlantic Division with a 24–58 record. In his second year, point guard Sherman Douglas led the Heat in scoring with 18.5 points per game. He also led them with 8.5 assists per game. Second-year star Glen Rice, and last season's Most Improved Player Rony Seikaly also had solid seasons, as the Heat showed slight improvement winning six more games than the previous season. Top draft pick Willie Burton was selected to the All-Rookie Second Team.
