QUOTABLE

Miami Heat coach Erik Spoelstra after their loss to the Orlando Magic: "We put ourselves in that situation. Defensively, in the second half, we just made much more of a stand, held them to 37 percent and 50 points. It was much different than that first half, we were just getting attacked off the dribble, lot of one-on-one situations in a bunch of different ways. Then the cuts, then the transition. We just did not set the tone for the game defensively and then the rest of the second half we had to dig from behind."
