Heat forward Kevin Love on the series: "It's an old underdog story, right? David vs. Goliath. We've been the eighth seed before, last year. That's why you've got to roll the ball out and play. You've got to understand that anything can happen in this game. Beating a team like Boston is going to be an incredibly uphill battle. They've played like the best team all year. I know some teams would have something to say about that but they've certainly made some moves with Jrue and Porzingis that have them so much better ... We know what they're capable of. Again, coach will have us ready to certainly compete on Sunday and go out there and try to get a win."
