QUOTABLE
Heat coach Erik Spoelstra after Thursday's loss to the Dallas Mavericks: “[Luka] Doncic — I’ve seen that play a lot at the buzzer. And [Kyrie] Irving hit one as well on a three-yards-and-a-cloud-of-dust on a rebound, kind of bobbled, tipped, and, of course, it ended up in his hands wide open. And that just kind of gave them a little more separation.”
