QUOTABLE
Heat forward Duncan Robinson: “Obviously after you’ve dropped the first two, the sense of urgency increases come Game 3. Take a look at the history or just the fact we have a good team on our home floor and the opportunity to play in front of a packed place. The urgency’s high. Come playoff time, everything feels like a must-win in many cases. We’re certainly preparing like it is, that’s for sure.”
