Heat guard Terry Rozier on defeating the Cleveland Cavaliers Wednesday "That's the most important thing, just getting the win. Like I said earlier, my teammates and my coaches just make sure they do a great job of reminding me daily, night in and night out, of who I am and just be that. We're going to live with that. I'm happy that we got the win. That's the most important thing."
