Heat coach Erik Spoelstra on Delon Wright's contribution in Kings victory: "The player of the game for us in the locker room was Delon. I don't think his stat line was spectacular by people on the outside, but he plays winning basketball. He guards, offensively he just has a great knack for knowing how to make the right play. [In] 35 minutes, didn't turn the ball over and made some big plays. The threes, but also the playmaking, and the free throws down the stretch were really important."
