QUOTABLE
Heat center Bam Adebayo on Tuesday's loss to the Phoenix Suns: “I feel like we didn’t play together like we should have,” center Bam Adebayo said. “When we’re playing together everybody is involved, everybody’s in rhythm. And today I feel like a lot of times we were playing hero ball instead of trying to move the defense.”
