The 2000 WNBA season was their second in the league. The Miracle made to the playoffs for the first time in franchise history, only to lose to the Cleveland Rockers in three games.
In the first round of the Eastern Conference Playoffs, the Miracle had to face the Cleveland Rockers. Since the Rockers had the better record, the series would be played with game 1 at Orlando, game 2 at Cleveland, and game 3 (if needed) at Cleveland. The Miracle won the first game, but the Rockers won the next two and took the series.
For the first time in franchise history, the Miracle advanced to the postseason.
