Florida Panthers, Miami Heat Headed Into Conference Finals As One Unit

Florida Panthers give Miami Heat a shout out as they head to face the Carolina Hurricanes

This has never happened before, so the Florida Panthers and Miami Heat are going to take full advantage of it.

The Panthers showed some love for the Heat while boarding their flight to North Carolina in preparation for Thursday's game against the Carolina Hurricanes in the conference finals. They created a Heat-like video for their Twitter page and wore shirts that read: "Culture." 

As in Heat Culture. 

The caption for tweet said, "Always repping" and "This one's for South Florida."  It is the first time both have reached this stage of the postseason at the same time.

It was the Panthers' way of having their NBA counterpart's back tonight. The Heat play the Boston Celtics in the first round of the Eastern Conference finals. 

Both teams are heavy underdogs. They are No. 8 seeds trying to continue their remarkable postseason runs. You can expect the Heat to do the same when Panthers open their series Thursday.
