Heat To Play Exhibition Games In Europe

NEW YORK, NY (CBS4) ― Just like the Miami Dolphins in 2007, the Miami Heat will travel to Europe in October of 2008 to play exhibition games against the New Jersey Nets.  The NBA announced the decision on Thursday as part of the NBA Live Tour 2008.

"They expressed a strong interest to travel, which they hadn't much before. The Heat brand for us is an important coming off their championship. Dwyane Wade is an enormous attraction and Pat Riley is a global attraction. They will bring a lot of interest to wherever they play the games.''

The games will take place October 9th in Paris, France and October 12th in London, England.

The Dolphins lost to the New York Giants 13-10 in the 2007 regular season in a game played in London.
