QUOTABLE

Miami Heat coach Erik Spoelstra on if the message to players ahead of the trade deadline being 'control what you can control': "Yes, this is the league we signed up for. There's so many amazing benefits that we get to experience competing in this National Basketball Association."

"There's also a business part of it, and then there's rumors, and then there's social media, like so many things that can get you off track but you just focus on the things that you can control. Today we had a great practice. We want to improve, to get to another level these 30 games. We have a good group. We all see the possibilities, but we have to get to it."
