Miami Heat coach Erik Spoelstra on the loss to the Orlando Magic: "Basically all four games we've had great first halves. We just have not been able to sustain it against that team. We started out flat, it's hard to explain that."

"We had some really deflating offensive possessions. We couldn't guard," he said. "We struggled to defend them, so that stacks up their paint points, and then they did a good job leveling off our drives."
